Ramaswamy to Run For Ohio Governor

Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy recently announced his candidacy for Ohio’s governorship. 

Ramaswamy's announcement comes as Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s term nears a close in January 2027. 

Ramaswamy claimed during his candidacy announcement that he would focus his agenda on economic prosperity, promising to bring “a hatchet to red tape, overregulation and bureaucracy.” 

President Donald Trump, who won Ohio by 10% in the presidential elections last November, quickly endorsed Ramaswamy.

“I know (Ramaswamy) well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL,” said President Trump via Truth Social. “He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!”

Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial contenders include current Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, who has the support of many Republicans within Ohio politics. 

Yost was elected to become Ohio’s Attorney General in 2018 and re-elected in 2022, earning more votes than any Attorney General in Ohio history.

The former Attorney General reportedly quickly attacked Ramaswamy after the latter’s campaign announcement. 

“I welcome Mr. Ramaswamy to the race for however long he sticks around," said Yost. "We'll see if he actually stays in — Mr. Ramaswamy quit on President Trump and DOGE on day one, he quit on Ohio and moved his company to Texas, and he quit his presidential campaign after a devastating fourth-place finish in Iowa."

Yost has reportedly raised nearly $3 million dollars since announcing his candidacy, and his profound network of Republican supporters could make the Republican primaries a competitive race. 

Yost’s vision for Ohio derives from his work as Attorney General, where he focused on judicious enforcement of the law, protecting individual liberties, preventing partisan lawfare, and creating a stable environment for economic growth.

Ramaswamy held a campaign rally shortly after his campaign announcement, where he gave more details on his plans for Ohio. 

“We will lead Ohio to be the top state in the country where we lead the way in the sectors of the future, from semiconductors to aerospace,” promised Ramaswamy. 

“I will lead Ohio to be the top state in the country, where patriots flock to instead of Florida and Texas,” continued Ramaswamy. “I will lead Ohio to be the state of excellence in America.”
