CINCINNATI (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham is coming to Ohio to campaign for GOP candidates in two races in the Nov. 6 election.

The South Carolina Republican is scheduled to be in Cincinnati on Tuesday to rally support for Ohio gubernatorial candidate Mike DeWine and for incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot.

DeWine's campaign announced Graham's visit in a release Sunday.

DeWine, the state's attorney general, is facing Democrat Richard Cordray in the race for Ohio governor. Cordray is a former Ohio attorney general and state treasurer.

Chabot, who is seeking re-election in Ohio's 1st District race in southwest Ohio, is facing Democrat Aftab Pureval. Pureval is the Hamilton County clerk of courts.

Graham will join DeWine and Chabot for a rally Tuesday night in Cincinnati.
