The 2006 Ohio Attorney General election was held on November 7, 2006, to elect the Ohio Attorney General. Democratic state senator and attorney Marc Dann defeated Republican State Auditor and former attorney general Betty Montgomery with 52.61% of the vote in what was considered an upset. The election was held concurrently with a U.S. Senate election, gubernatorial election, and other statewide races. Primary elections were held on May 2, 2006.
Dann would go on to resign as attorney general on May 14, 2008, following the discovery of an extramarital affair and claims of sexual harassment. Dean was succeeded by Nancy H. Rogers in late May 2008 after being appointed by Governor Ted Strickland, but did not seek a full term in the following special election.
