According to reports, former presidential candidate and Trump champion Vivek Ramaswamy filed paperwork on Friday with the Ohio Secretary of State to run in the upcoming 2026 gubernatorial election.
This is phenomenal considering sitting Governor Mike DeWine (whom Ohioans so lovingly refer to as “DeWeenie”) is an absolute NIGHTMARE who went along with Orwellian Covid-19 protocols during the pandemic.

Breitbart reports:
The 39-year-old entrepreneur’s campaign reportedly filed a Designation of Treasurer form, which is the official document a candidate must complete before their campaign begins spending or accepting money.
Ramaswamy is expected to officially make his announcement later this month.
“It’s Vivek Ramaswamy – I’m hitting the road for a major announcement, and I want to see you there!” Ramaswamy teased on his recently launched website.
The former presidential Republican primary candidate will kick off his bid for Ohio governor on February 24 in his hometown of Cincinnati, according to a report by Associated Press.
On February 25, Ramaswamy will be at Glass City Center in Toledo and The Local Bar in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville, his website reveals.
He is also set to be the keynote speaker at the 2025 Lucas County Lincoln Day Dinner in Maumee, Ohio — just southwest of Toledo — on March 14.

Last summer, I moved from Ohio to the great state of Texas. However, if I was still an Ohio resident, I assure you that Vivek would have my vote in a heartbeat.
