A recent poll indicates a tight contest for the governor's seat. Support for the two nominees is nearly evenly split, with one candidate holding a slight edge of just 0.1 percentage points. The candidates are ramping up their efforts to reach voters across the state.

Further details about the poll and the candidates' platforms are available. One nominee has proposed expanding a health program and increasing funding for public schools.

The election is drawing attention due to the seat being open, as the current officeholder is unable to run again.
