COLUMBUS, OH – A powerful coalition of 15 Republican state senators in Ohio—including all members of the Majority Leadership team and two-thirds of the Majority Caucus—has officially thrown its support behind Vivek Ramaswamy for governor, signaling strong momentum for his campaign. Recognizing the strides Ohio has made over the past decade, these leaders are committed to accelerating progress and making Ohio the best state in the nation to create jobs, receive a world-class education, and raise a family.

Vivek’s vision is clear: transform Ohio into the “State of Excellence” by cutting taxes, slashing burdensome regulations, and fostering a business-friendly environment that attracts top-tier job growth. With the backing of conservative leaders, he aims to position Ohio as a national powerhouse of economic opportunity, educational excellence, and pro-freedom policies.

“For years, Republican leadership has turned Ohio into a Midwest success story—supporting strong job creation, attracting investment, and defending conservative values,” said Ohio Senate President Rob McColley. “With Vivek at the helm, we can take it to the next level. He has the vision, business expertise, and relentless drive to make Ohio the best state in America to live, work, and raise a family.”

As a self-made businessman and political outsider, Vivek understands what it takes to ignite economic growth, spur innovation, and create opportunity. His leadership isn’t about maintaining the status quo—it’s about pushing Ohio to the front of the pack.

“Ohio is already great—but great isn’t good enough,” said Vivek. “We’re going to make Ohio the number one state in America for businesses to thrive, families to flourish, and students to receive a world-class education. I’m honored to have the support of these conservative leaders, and together, we’ll take Ohio to new heights.”
