Cincinnati, February 24, 2025: Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has announced his candidacy for the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial race, focusing on education reform, economic growth, and government efficiency. His plans include universal school choice, attracting high-tech industries, and cutting state income tax to foster a business-friendly environment.
Ramaswamy, who previously ran for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and briefly co-led the Department of Government Efficiency, will face Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Heather Hill in the Republican primary. On the Democratic side, Dr. Amy Acton is a key contender. With Governor Mike DeWine term-limited, the race is expected to be highly competitive.
