Columbus, OH — In a powerful show of support, 15 Republican state senators in Ohio, including all members of the Majority Leadership team and two-thirds of the Majority Caucus, have officially endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy for governor. This significant endorsement signals a growing momentum for his campaign and highlights his plan to further Ohio’s progress, aiming to make it the best state in the nation for job creation, education, and family life.
Ramaswamy, a self-made businessman and political outsider, has outlined a bold vision to transform Ohio into the “State of Excellence” by cutting taxes, slashing burdensome regulations, and fostering a business-friendly environment. He seeks to position Ohio as a national leader in economic growth, educational achievement, and pro-freedom policies.
“For years, Republican leadership has turned Ohio into a Midwest success story—creating jobs, attracting investment, and defending conservative values,” said Ohio Senate President Rob McColley. “With Vivek at the helm, we can elevate that success even further. He has the vision, business expertise, and drive to make Ohio the best state in America to live, work, and raise a family.”
Ramaswamy’s campaign has gained significant traction thanks to his track record in business and leadership. He emphasizes the need to push Ohio to the front of the pack, focusing on innovation and creating opportunity for all residents.
“Ohio is already great—but great isn’t good enough,” said Ramaswamy. “We’re going to make Ohio the number one state in America for businesses to thrive, families to flourish, and students to receive a world-class education. I’m honored to have the support of these conservative leaders, and together, we’ll take Ohio to new heights.”
