Ramaswamy is a brilliant businessman and problem-solver who, like President Donald Trump, doesn’t need anyone else’s money. He’s not beholden to lobbyists, scared of their friends in the media, or trapped by their broken playbook. He’s free to state the truth: that it’s not the government but strong families that build strong communities.

Vivek Ramaswamy announced his campaign for Ohio governor at two events near Cincinnati and Columbus on Monday.
