I will lead Ohio to be the state of excellence in America.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his speech, Ramaswamy outlined his priorities for Ohio, emphasizing economic growth, education reform, and combating what he calls &#8220;woke ideology&#8221; in schools and businesses. He pledged to cut taxes, reduce regulations, and implement school choice policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio&#8217;s current governor, Republican Mike DeWine, is ineligible for re-election in 2026 due to term limits. The race is expected to be highly competitive, with Attorney General Dave Yost and former state Senator Heather Brazell-Hill already declaring their candidacies for the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&#038;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FVivekGRamaswamy%2Fvideos%2F1639063920029174%2F&#038;show_text=false&#038;width=560&#038;t=1981\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has announced his bid for Ohio governor, marking his first run for statewide office.
