Jay Edwards (R) and Kristina Daley Roegner (R) are running in the Republican primary for Ohio Treasurer on May 5, 2026.

Incumbent Robert Sprague (R) is running for secretary of state. Vice President J.D. Vance (R) endorsed Edwards. Gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy (R), who ran for president in 2024, endorsed Roegner. Politico's Jacob Wendler said, "The otherwise sleepy battle between two native sons of Ohio is one of many divides bubbling up in the Republican Party that is tentatively charting a post-Trump future, with both Ramaswamy and Vance jockeying to put their stamp on the GOP."

Edwards is a realtor and small business owner. Edwards was a member of the Ohio House from 2017 to 2024. Edwards is running on his legislative experience. Edwards' campaign website says he "served as the House Finance Committee Chair where he sponsored and passed a $3.2 billion dollar tax cut, and universal school choice." Edwards said he is "very much in the camp of the new-school Republican Party, of the Trump Republican Party, and making sure...we stay the party of the blue-collar middle class."

Roegner is a member of the Ohio Senate. Roegner was elected to the Ohio Senate in 2018. Roegner was a member of the Ohio House from 2011 to 2018 and a member of the Hudson City Council from 2005 to 2010. Before running for office, Roegner worked as an engineer and management consultant. Roegner says she is running "to bring real experience and fiscal discipline to protect your tax dollars. Like Donald Trump, I graduated from the Wharton School of Business and I don't back down from a fight." Roegner's campaign website says she has "stood firm for life, parental rights, and academic excellence".

In 2022, Sprague defeated Scott Schertzer (D) 58.6%–41.4%. As of 2026, the last Democrat to win a statewide election in Ohio was Jennifer Brunner (D), who was elected to the Ohio Supreme Court in 2020.
