Rhodes served as mayor of Columbus, Ohio from 1943-1952. He was elected State Auditor in 1952, taking office in early 1953. He served in that office until being elected governor in 1962 (he had already lost runs for the office twice - once in the primary in 1950 and once in the general election in 1954). Rhodes served two terms as governor - he also sought the Republican nomination for the presidency in 1964 and 1968, but fell well short each time - before retiring in 1971. He ran for the U.S. Senate in 1970, losing the primary election to Robert Taft, Jr. which was two days after the events at Kent State.

The Ohio Constitution limits the governor to two four-year terms, so when Rhodes initially filed to run again in 1974, his petitions were refused by the Secretary of State. Rhodes sued and the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the limitation was on consecutive terms, thus freeing him to return to office in the 1974 election, narrowly defeating incumbent John Gilligan. He served two more terms before retiring again in 1983. He sought to run for the governorship again in 1986, seeking a record-breaking fifth term, but lost to the incumbent Richard F.
