Why Ohioans Should Think Twice Before Voting Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor

Ohio Deserves Proven, Not Promising

Vivek Ramaswamy, the biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate, launched his bid for Ohio governor on February 24, 2025, promising to slash taxes, shred regulations, and impose work requirements on Medicaid. Backed by Donald Trump and a roster of conservative heavyweights, Ramaswamy casts himself as a bold outsider ready to revive Ohio’s economic and cultural spirit. Yet, beneath the polished rhetoric and high-profile endorsements lies a candidate whose inexperience, controversial business history, and extreme policy proposals could spell trouble for the Buckeye State. Here’s why Ohioans should hesitate before casting their votes for him in 2026.

1. Lack of Governing Experience Risks Ineffective Leadership

Ramaswamy has never held elected office or managed a public institution. His resume boasts Harvard, Yale Law, and a near-billion-dollar fortune from Roivant Sciences and Strive Asset Management, but it’s devoid of the practical experience needed to navigate Ohio’s complex bureaucracy. Governing a state of 11.8 million people isn’t like running a startup—Ohio’s $81 billion biennial budget, sprawling public school system, and intricate Medicaid framework demand seasoned leadership.

Contrast this with outgoing Governor Mike DeWine, who brought decades of experience as a U.S. Senator, Attorney General, and Lieutenant Governor before taking office in 2019. Ramaswamy’s brief stint co-leading Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in late 2024 ended after just two months, with his exit on Inauguration Day (January 20, 2025) raising questions about his commitment. Critics like Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, a primary rival, have pointed to this pattern: “Ramaswamy quit on President Trump and DOGE on day one,” Yost said on February 24, 2025, per The Statehouse News Bureau. For a state facing a 4.5% unemployment rate (January 2025, BLS) and revised-down job growth, entrusting an untested novice could lead to costly missteps.

2. A Business Record Marred by Failure and Controversy

Ramaswamy touts his biotech success, but his flagship venture, Axovant Sciences, imploded spectacularly, costing investors—including Ohio’s own California State Teachers’ Retirement System (CalSTRS)—millions. In 2015, he acquired intepirdine, a failed Alzheimer’s drug from GlaxoSmithKline, for $5 million, hyped it through a $315 million IPO, and drove Axovant’s valuation to $3 billion. When Phase III trials failed in September 2017, the stock crashed 75% overnight, dropping from $24 to $6, and later to under $1 by 2018—a 99% wipeout from its peak. Ramaswamy pocketed over $37 million by selling Roivant shares beforehand, while public investors like CalSTRS were left holding the bag (Forbes, Aug 21, 2023).

This wasn’t an isolated fluke. Strive Asset Management, his anti-ESG firm, faced lawsuits in 2023 from former employees Joyce Rosely and John Phillips, alleging a toxic workplace and pressure to skirt securities laws—claims Ramaswamy dismissed as “bare accusations” (Forbes, Aug 18, 2023). Though unresolved as of March 2025, these incidents paint a picture of a leader prioritizing personal gain over accountability. Ohioans, already wary of economic decline, deserve a governor whose track record inspires trust, not skepticism.

3. Extreme Policies Could Harm Vulnerable Ohioans

Ramaswamy’s campaign promises—like eliminating the state income tax and imposing Medicaid work requirements—sound bold but crumble under scrutiny. Ohio collected $9.8 billion from its income tax in fiscal year 2024 (Cleveland.com, Feb 24, 2025), funding schools, roads, and public safety. Zeroing it out, as Ramaswamy proposes, would either gut these services or force massive sales tax hikes—hitting working families hardest. He’s offered no detailed plan to offset this revenue loss, a red flag for a state where 13.4% live below the poverty line (U.S. Census, 2023).

His push for Medicaid work requirements, echoed in his February 24 speech, ignores reality: over 90% of Medicaid-eligible adults in Ohio already work, are disabled, or are caregivers, per the Kaiser Family Foundation (Ohio Capital Journal, Feb 24, 2025). Adding red tape could strip coverage from thousands—like the 36,000 Ohioans who lost Medicaid during a 2023 eligibility review (Community Solutions, 2023)—without boosting employment. 

4. Alignment with Trump May Prioritize Politics Over Ohio’s Interests

Trump’s “COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT” on February 24, 2025, via Truth Social, gives Ramaswamy a GOP primary edge—61% support in a Bowling Green State University poll (Newsweek, March 4, 2025)—but ties him to a polarizing figure whose agenda doesn’t always align with Ohio’s. Ramaswamy’s DOGE tenure pushed federal job cuts, like the 30,000 layoffs in February 2025 (Reuters, Feb 24, 2025), a model he wants to replicate in Ohio. Yet, slashing state jobs risks destabilizing an economy where public employment (e.g., 66,000 in education alone) supports rural counties hardest hit by manufacturing losses.

His Trump loyalty also raises doubts about independence. Will he govern for Ohioans or as a proxy for Trump’s national ambitions? 

Posts on X (e.g., @RichardAngwin, March 9, 2025) warn his “extreme policies” and “Trump loyalty” could prioritize party over state needs—a concern in a state that’s shifted right but still values pragmatic leadership.

5. A Pattern of Quitting When the Going Gets Tough

Ramaswamy’s history suggests he bails when challenges mount. He dropped his 2024 presidential bid after a fourth-place Iowa finish (15% of the vote, January 2024), abandoned DOGE on day one, and moved Strive’s headquarters from Columbus to Dallas in November 2024 (Dallas Innovates, Nov 1, 2024), despite his Ohio roots. Yost’s jab—“He quit on Ohio”—stings because it’s grounded in this pattern. Governing demands resilience, not a tendency to pivot when the spotlight dims. Ohioans need a leader who’ll stay the course, not one who’s bolted from every tough fight so far.

Conclusion: Ohio Deserves Proven, Not Promising

Ramaswamy’s charisma and Trump-backed bravado may dazzle GOP primary voters, but Ohioans should look past the hype. His inexperience risks mismanagement, his business failures cast doubt on his economic stewardship, and his policies threaten the state’s most vulnerable. At 39, he’s young and ambitious, but ambition without substance is a gamble Ohio can’t afford. With unemployment ticking up to 4.5% and families stretched thin, the state needs a governor with a steady hand—not a biotech billionaire testing his latest experiment on 11.8 million lives. In 2026, Ohioans should demand proven leadership over untested promises. Now you know.

You most likely should expand your knowledge and consider reading the following and before you read the following, I voted for Trump and I am a Republican.

What came first: The Chicken or The Egg? Elon Musk - Vivek Ramaswamy. NEW SHOCKING INFORMATION!

What came first: The Chicken or The Egg? Elon Musk - Vivek Ramaswamy.

NEW SHOCKING INFORMATION

Now that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has been established and Elon Musk is running the show with cutting spending, what a better time to talk about Vivek Ramaswamy who is currently in the Race for the Governor of Ohio and some Americans are against DOGE. 

Shocking New Information: On November 13, 2023 2 years before Elon Musk DOGE implements Government Efficiency Vivek Ramaswamy posted a very harsh and brazen post:   

• On Day One, I will "instantly" fire 50% of federal bureaucrats. Here's how: if your SSN ends in an odd number, you're fired. The downsizes of the government by half. Absolutely "nothing" will break as a result. It doesn't violate civil service rules because mass layoffs are exempt - and no bureaucrats can claim their firing were politically motivated. Further firings can be executed with a chisel, but Step One needs to be unrestrained chainsaw, or else it just won't happen. SHUT IT DOWN Vivek2024.com 

Everyone was surprised when Vivek left DOGE and nobody actually received a cohesive answer as to why Vivek was left out of DOGE and there was a lot of speculation. 

In now a shocking revelation of the above post from Vivek Ramaswamy it doesn't coincide of what Vivek told the public as seen from Liberty Vault Video, a interview with Vivek that Flagrant had with Vivek 

"Vivek Ramaswamy - Why I Left the DOGE Project" "The short story I can give you the short story is, it evolved from a focus on where I was focused legal constitutional issues legislative issues of if you want to save a lot of money you got to do through legislation if you want to look at the Supreme Court landscape for the last few years it says a lot of these regulations are unconstitutional that's where I had been focused." - Vivek. 

Americans and Ohioans are being told the truth.

That isn't the case as seen in the post made by Ramaswamy in November 2023 on Facebook. Who's being dishonest with the American people, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, President Donald J Trump? 1 year later to the month November 2024 Donald Trump Statement that Elon Musk will join Vivek Ramaswamy.

The idea that Vivek had 2 years ago seems very cold and calculated and cruel towards Americans. The federal government is the single largest employer of veterans in this country, There are currently 2.278 million civilian federal employees. 

Was it easier for Elon Musk who had already established a Social Media Company X to hype the masses and get Americans on board by firing 50% of the workforce in our Government? 

A major concern on federal employee's is major layoffs or take a buyout or be fired. Recent concerns also on, HB1-Visa's abuse and given out to too many people. What happens to these Americans with no job, what about Veterans? Was Elon Musk made to be the chisel and chainsaw man on Americans and our Government while Vivek was given the opportunity to be the next Governor of Ohio? Favors for a favor?

During CPAC 2025 Argentina’s Milei explains his chainsaw methods and likens them to Musk’s DOGE. Elon Musk was parading himself on stage with a chainsaw, they left out the chisel, maybe it would have become too obvious. I hope at this point you are now asking yourselves more questions then you have answers as to why there was a switcheroo from Vivek to Elon and were Americans once again Gaslighted? What came first: the chicken or the egg? 

Who sold Ohio out? No Vivek isn't a Hero for stepping aside from DOGE. What else isn't he telling Ohioans? He is now again telling a different story and apparently others are leaving out pertinent information. Why?

Was Vivek picked to run for Ohio's Governor because Elon took over the idea from 2 years ago? Is Vivek being endorsed to appease or to silence what has happened by Elon running the show so Vivek didn't become disgruntled or make waves? Of course I am speculating that he may have become disgruntled if he didn't get established within any public office. Donald Trump, Elon Musk and other conservatives endorsed Vivek for the Governor of Ohio pretty quickly and even Donald Trump Jr is now on the scene. At this point I feel betrayed and I think others will feel the same and some will say, "no I don't, I voted for it." I'd say no you didn't vote for Vivek Ramaswamy, you voted for Trump.

How many people actually know that post from Nov 2023 from Vivek? I know I didn't until a couple of days ago. Everyone believes it was over a post from Elon Musk HB1-Visa calling people retarded and now wearing a tech shirt just reinforces what Elon true beliefs are, Americans are retarded while Vivek is calling Americans lazy and Vivek the DOGE team went into different direction. That simply isn't the truth. Elon Musk did bring back the slur retard though. 

• Use of the Slur “retard” Triples on X After Elon Musk Shares the Word in a Post

Some states are taking action to implement DOGE into their State. 

American Taxpayers are taking issue with DOGE. Very concerned about Veterans, as seen in the following video. "Must Watch Video: @RogerMarshallMD stands up and leaves his own town hall meeting today after being asked why Republicans think it’s acceptable for DOGE to be firing Veterans." - @mattmfm

Question, with all the layoffs where are people going to go to work, does the Republican party understand that Americans are not seeing it as America 1st? They just might be pushing people in states to walk away from the Republican Party and are upset as seen in the Video of a Town hall meeting in Great Bend, KS over the firing of America's Veterans. 

Ohioans, are you ready for Job Loss?

No Doubt Vivek Ramaswamy who's running for Gov. of Ohio will use a type of DOGE model against Ohioans. While he calls for Insane Asylums that he told his Ohio Audience, the harsh reality is when you turn your back on Veterans their Mental Health declines. We know what Vivek will do, what will you do to save Veterans across America? Stay Silent?

Take Ohio's Current Federal Civilian Employment, employed 55,487 people.  If Vivek is voted for the next Governor of Ohio, his cruel harsh brazen post from Nov of 2023 stating and boasting there isn't anything anyone can do about it, Ohioans would have a job loss of over 27,000 plus people and that would include Veterans. Ohio has over 700,000 Veterans. Ohio cares about Veterans, On Nov. 07, 2024 Gov. DeWine pushes for Ohio businesses to hire veterans. "What You Need To Know November is Hire-a-Veteran Month" and gave Veterans a employment tool to use. What good is the tool if there aren't enough jobs in Ohio to cover the collateral damage of Veterans losing jobs and other Americans? How many suicides' will occur, we need to ask those questions and take it very seriously. 

Now Donald Trump Jr and Omeed Malik Founder & CEO @farvaharcap 

/@clbrspac / @1789capital /Entrepreneur, Banker, Lawyer & Investor are holding fundraiser for Vivek Ramaswamy, not much of a difference between Obama and Soros telling the American people and Ohio who's going to be the next Governor, Senator, Congressman or Woman and of course the money makes it all happen. It's never about the will of the people or what they actually want. It's a sad day for Ohio. 

Who is Vivek Ramaswamy and how did he become someone at the forefront in our Nation's Political Spectrum? as we seen over the course of many years in America's political spectrum, it starts with a plan, a billionaire or others use and politically groom their candidate of their making, Yes, Vivek did get help through Soros and to say what he learned during that time doesn't benefit them you would be kidding yourselves. It's very easy to see, All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.-Galileo. 

We have a prime example of what we saw when Obama was placed on the National Political Spectrum, that same establishment currently remains the same E pluribus Unum. Out of many one. 

E pluribus Unum - As they are one, Obama, Soros, Donald Trump Jr and Omeed Malik and the rest of the Millionaires and Billionaires. If you have the money you can place any shyster in a State and decide for States because billionaires and millionaires say so. 

Feeling betrayed? 

In closing....

There are now so many other questions that I have, but I think at this point I would lose the reader if I continued writing. I want you to question everything because not everything you see is what it seems to be at times. Thank you for taking the time to read my article.

What came first: The Chicken or The Egg? The idiom "Chicken-and-egg" is a metaphoric adjective describing situations where it is not clear which of two events should be considered the cause and which should be considered the effect. I believe we are currently in that America Dilemma. 

We understood the cutting of such as USAID, I don't think Americans across the nation understood the effect of job loss that will occur across our nation and the calling for more Golden Global Citizenry with a $5 Million Dollar Golden Fast Track into America. 

It seems once again, the American people are getting the dirty end of the stick. I don't call any of this transparency, do you? I call it the control over the many and of course the truth never was told to the American people about what actually happened between DOGE- Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and about the elites money and political grooming giving us a man-made politician by the name of Vivek Ramaswamy by the elites, Now you know.

1 year later to the month. November 2024 Donald Trump Statement that Elon Musk will join Vivek Ramaswamy.

You most likely should expand your knowledge and consider reading the following and before you read the following, I voted for Trump and I am a Republican.
