Vivek Ramaswamy calls Medicare and Medicaid “mistakes.”
Let me be clear: these programs are lifelines for millions of Ohioans. As governor, I will fight to protect Medicare and Medicaid and ensure Ohio families have access to the affordable care they need close to home.

No Ohioan should have to put off a doctor’s appointment, skip a prescription or ignore a health concern because they can’t afford care.
I’ve spent my career working to keep people healthy. As governor, I’ll work to build a healthcare system that puts people first.

Vivek Ramaswamy made false promises about the success of a drug that had already failed four trials to line his own pockets. But it wasn’t just the patients and their families who suffered because of his lies.
Ohio teachers and public pensions lost nearly $2 million because they trusted Vivek Ramaswamy’s word.
We cannot trust him to put Ohioans first.

Whether you’re saving up for your first home or struggling to keep up with rent, housing costs are taking too much out of Ohioans’ paychecks.
My housing plan will help fix up older homes, support new construction and make homeownership more accessible for working families while limiting corporations from buying up Ohio’s housing.

And my message is this: life should be more affordable. No one should have to struggle to pay for healthcare. Corruption should have no place in our government. And no matter who you are, where you live, or what challenges you face, you deserve to be seen, heard, and valued.
No one should ever feel forgotten or left behind. That's the Ohio I'm fighting for.

It was a pleasure to visit the Orians’ family’s seventh-generation farm in Wyandot County today.
We sat down with farmers from across the region who shared the challenges they’re facing — from rising diesel prices and everyday expenses to the heartbreaking possibility that they may not be able to afford to pass their land down to the next generation.
Ohio farmers deserve a future where their hard work pays off and their family legacies can live on for generations to come.

Ohio spent nearly $2 billion in taxpayer dollars on private school vouchers this year while our public schools remain underfunded.
As governor, I will ensure that the EdChoice program begins operating with full transparency and accountability, and fully fund our public schools to make sure every child has access to a quality education, regardless of their zip code.

The chemical release in Toledo is a serious public health and safety concern. I know how frightening and uncertain situations like these can be for families and communities.
I’m grateful to the first responders working to keep the community safe and encourage everyone affected to continue following guidance from local officials.

A new day is dawning in our state. It's time for a change in Ohio.
Watch our new ad now.
A governor’s only priority should be making life better for Ohioans. That’s why I sold all of my individual stocks over 6 months ago so that no Ohioan would ever have to worry about where my priorities lie.
Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy has refused to sell his holdings in data centers and other industries Ohio’s governor will be responsible for regulating. Ramaswamy is only out for himself. The longer he refuses to put Ohioans before his own stock portfolio, the clearer that becomes.

Thank you, Delaware County!
When I’m Governor, my focus will be simple: making life better and more affordable for every Ohioan.
That means lower costs, stronger public schools, good-paying jobs, and communities where families can thrive.
Because every Ohioan deserves more than just getting by. You deserve the opportunity to build a great life, right here in Ohio. That’s my promise to you.

Rural Ohioans like Shelby County cattle farmer Chris know what’s at stake in this race. It’s time for a governor who sticks up for Ohioans in ag and works to lower their costs, expand access to healthcare, and fully fund our public schools.

Thank you Lorain! It's incredible to see so many of you out in our communities, knocking doors, and helping to make a better future for Ohio a reality.
This is great news for Ohio's hunters, conservationists, and outdoor enthusiasts. Expanding access to more than 10,000 acres of public land in southern Ohio means protecting our resources, preserving our hunting traditions, and ensuring future generations can enjoy the great outdoors.

It was an honor to speak at the Tri-County Regional Labor Council’s 72nd Annual Community Awards Banquet and celebrate the hardworking men and women who keep Ohio moving forward!
As governor, I’ll always stand with the working people who built this state and continue to make it strong.

I sat down with educators and superintendents in Ashtabula for a discussion about how the lack of public school funding and billions being diverted to the voucher program is affecting our students’ ability to learn and thrive.
As governor, one of my top priorities will be ensuring every child has access to a great public education and the opportunity to reach their full potential, no matter their ZIP code or their family's income. Every child in Ohio deserves the chance to succeed.

My number one priority is lowering costs for Ohioans.
I am committed to cutting taxes for Ohioans, including our farmers, and making it easier for Ohio farmers to pass their land down and keep the family business going.
My opponent? He says any inheritance tax should be “very high” and claims it will help return Ohio to a “merit-based culture of excellence”, making it even harder to keep farms in the family.
I will always stand up for Ohio’s farmers.

Nearly 1,400 Ohioans lost their jobs in a single day. These are families who worked hard, played by the rules and deserve an economy that works just as hard for them as it does for billionaires, special interests and corporations.
Ohio cannot keep losing good jobs and calling it business as usual. As governor, I’ll fight to bring jobs back to our communities, strengthen Ohio manufacturing and put working people first.

We have 28 days left, and we aren't slowing down. Let’s get out and vote!
