Outside of the Republican field, one Democrat and one Libertarian filed to succeed Cronk, those two candidates being welder Brandon Kowalski and business owner James Fields respectively. During the primary campaign, three of the four Republican candidates agreed on most issues, while Goode, the more far right candidate, disagreed with the other Republicans in the race on most issues. Another additional split was with Cole, who supported increases to the state's education funding. Following the primary election, Snodgress and Mock withdrew from the ballot to help boost Schwanke's chances in the election, which allowed Fields to advance to the general election. Fields also withdrew from the race shortly after the primary, but had missed the deadline to have his name removed from the ballot.

During the general election campaign the two Republican candidates expressed concerns that the presence of two Republicans on the ballot, as well as not enough voters ranking both Republicans on their ballots, could lead to Kowalski, the Democratic candidate, winning the seat. In the general election, the vote split three ways between Schwanke, Kowalski, and Goode, with each having 35%, 33%, and 25% respectively. In the third and final round of ranked choice voting, Schwanke defeated Kowalski by a 13-point margin.

In the final round of ranked choice voting, Jimmie defeated McCormick by 5 points.
