Columbus, Ohio- Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign has been full of swings and misses, but one thing has been consistent: it’s clear that if he were elected, working families would be the ones left stranded. Here are ten reasons Ramaswamy is wrong for Ohio:

  1. Ramaswamy pushed an Alzheimer’s drug he knew didn’t work to desperate families, then cashed out before the drug crashed.
  1. He moved his businesses from Ohio to Texas just months before running for governor. 
  1. His property tax scam would cause the sales tax to skyrocket and stick working families with the bill.
  1. In addition to raising costs, Ohioans would be less safe under Ramaswamy’s property tax scam that would defund police and fire departments across Ohio.
  1. Ramaswamy called Medicaid and Medicare “mistakes” while healthcare costs continue to rise.
  1. After calling Ohio workers “lazy,” Ramaswamy was scheduled to give the keynote speech at a conference about outsourcing American jobs.
  1. While working families struggle, Ramaswamy called affordability a “buzzword” and said the “perceived” rising cost of living was only in Ohioans’ imaginations.
  1. Instead of meeting voters on the ground, Ramaswamy has spent nearly 40% of 2026 outside of Ohio.
  1. He even flew his private jet to Paris, France on the Fourth of July and last week went to New York City for the U.S. Open.
  1. Ramaswamy continues to stand by Max Miller after accusations of domestic violence and previously accepted endorsements from state legislators accused of misconduct with minors.
