(VitalNews.org) – After being tight-lipped about his political future following his departure from the newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency, conservative firebrand Vivek Ramaswamy has announced his next big move.
Ramaswamy has finally revealed that he has set his sights on Ohio’s governorship, with plans to transform the Buckeye State into a beacon of American success.
He officially announced his candidacy for the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial race, vowing to make Ohio the top state for business and family life.
His platform is based on a sound conservative foundation, tackling everything from tax reform to education and social issues.
At the heart of Ramaswamy’s economic plan is a bold promise to eliminate income tax and reduce property taxes, a move that would put more money in the pockets of hardworking Ohioans.
He has also committed to slashing regulations and promoting natural gas, positioning Ohio as a leader in energy production and economic growth.
However, Ramaswamy’s vision extends far beyond the economy. He is taking aim at the cultural issues that have left many conservatives feeling under siege.
His pledge to end “wokeness” in schools and introduce a civics test for high school graduation is sure to resonate with parents concerned about the leftist indoctrination of their children.
“We require a leader here at home who will revive our conviction in Ohio, That is why today, I am honored to announce that I am running to be the next Governor of a great state at the heart of the greatest nation known to mankind,” Ramaswamy stated.
On the hot-button issue of education, Ramaswamy is proposing a radical overhaul.
He supports universal school choice, merit-based teacher pay, and even a ban on phones in schools.
These measures aim to improve educational outcomes and attract top teaching talent, ensuring Ohio’s children are prepared for future challenges.
Ramaswamy’s stance on social issues is unapologetically conservative. He is a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, religious freedom, and family values. While he opposes abortion, he respects state rights on the issue.
The candidate’s background in investments and entrepreneurship, including his education from Harvard and Yale Law, sets him apart from career politicians.
“There are conservative solutions and approaches that have not yet been tried in any of the other 50 states. I want Ohio to set the standard,” Ramaswamy declared.
He has also pledged to introduce work requirements for Medicaid and welfare, signaling a commitment to reducing government dependency.
As Ohio prepares for a new chapter in its leadership, Ramaswamy’s candidacy offers a clear choice: doubling down on conservative principles while rejecting the left’s failed policies.
