Meet Vivek
Vivek is an American business leader and New York Times bestselling author. The left leaning media has called him one of the “intellectual godfathers of the anti-woke movement” (Politico) and the “right’s leading anti-ESG crusader” (Axios and Bloomberg). He was dubbed “The C.E.O. of Anti-Woke,” by The New Yorker. These movements are now popularized in mainstream conservative thought.

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, he often recounts the sage advice from his father: “If you’re going to stand out, then you might as well be outstanding.” This set the course for his life: a nationally ranked tennis player and the valedictorian of his high school, St. Xavier. He went on to graduate summa cum laude in Biology from Harvard and received his J.D. from Yale Law School, while working at a hedge fund. He then started a biotech company, Roivant Sciences, where he oversaw the development of five drugs that went on to become FDA-approved.
Vivek is married to Apoorva, a throat surgeon and Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. They live in Columbus, Ohio where they are raising their two sons.

Vision For Ohio
There’s a new Industrial Revolution underway around the world right now, and I believe deep in my bones that we can lead the way again.
I want Ohio to become the leading state in the country to grow a business; the leading state in the country to raise a young family; the leading state in the country for kids to get a world-class education, starting from a young age, where they excel in math, reading, writing, and critical thinking; the leading state in the country where we give young people the tools to be victors (not victims) in a global economy; the leading state in the country where we embrace capitalism and meritocracy, instead of apologizing for it; the state where we take a hatchet to red tape and regulations; the bleeding-edge of innovation in the sectors of the future, from aerospace to AI to semiconductors; the state where patriots across the country pack their bags to flock to, instead of Florida and Texas; I want Ohio to become the STATE OF EXCELLENCE.
That’s where I’m going to lead our state, and you can take that to the bank as a modern-day Northwest Ordinance. We’re a conservative state, and it’s time for us to finally be governed like one.
