From the Washington Examiner: Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy announced his 2026 campaign for Ohio governor on Monday as he looks to translate his national profile into a run for statewide office.
Speaking to supporters in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ramaswamy fashioned himself as an America First conservative who would usher in an economic and cultural resurgence in Ohio.
“We were the state of excellence, and we can be the state of excellence again,” Ramaswamy told the audience, echoing President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.
“As your next governor, Ohio will be the state that leads the way,” he added.
Ramaswamy, 39, is planning to travel to the Columbus, Toledo, and Cleveland areas over the next 24 hours, as he formally kicks off his campaign launch.
The report notes that although he has support from many Trump supporters, Ramaswamy “faces a formidable challenge in Dave Yost, the two-term attorney general of Ohio.”
“I am honored to officially announce my candidacy to serve as the next Governor of Ohio,” Ramaswamy wrote, sharing a clip from his announcement speech.
