posted by Hannity Staff - 2.24.25

It’s official.

Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has officially announced his gubernatorial run in Ohio; “I am running to be a key partner to President Trump at the state level to Make America Great Again,” Ramaswamy said.

Ramaswamy, a vocal supporter of President Trump, shared his simple 10-point platform with supporters.

  1. Tell folks the truth – no lies, no gimmicks, no political speak
  2. Support Trump 100% – he will have no better partner at the state level
  3. Overhaul failing schools – I’ll expand school choice and reward excellent teachers
  4. Restore national identity – we’ll promote merit and patriotism, and reject victimhood
  5. Deport every illegal alien – Tom Homan is a hero, he’ll have a direct line to my office
  6. Roll back transgenderism – ban men in women’s sports, no sex changes for minors
  7. Slash taxes and lower prices – you earned your nest egg, you should keep more of it
  8. Gut all DEI programs in the state – we’ll be a model for rooting out woke propaganda
  9. Secure elections and prosecute fraud – our elections will be the safest in the country
  10. Obliterate the managerial bureaucracy – I’ll take a hacksaw to government bloat

“I get that’s not everyone’s cup of tea,” Ramaswamy said in a campaign email. “Some folks would rather have a Liberal Democrat or a go-along-to-get-along Republican instead. That’s just not who I am nor the campaign I’m running.”

“I threw my hat in the ring because we need a fighter – with the grit and fearlessness to take on the Democrat machine – at the helm in battleground Ohio,” Ramaswamy added.
