Columbus Stand Up! presents the third annual youth-led candidate debate ahead of the 2026 general election — and you're invited.

This year’s debate will feature candidates for Ohio Governor and Attorney General. Organized and led by young people, this event centers youth voices in shaping the future of Ohio.

The debate offers a critical opportunity for Ohio voters, especially those under 25, to hear directly from candidates on the issues impacting the future of our state.

The event will take place at Fort Hayes Education Center in the Performing Arts Auditorium, located in Building 7, Room 108.
