People ask me this all the time, and it’s the right question.

Why would billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, who has never done any public service (except DOGE, from which he was fired), moved his business and jobs to Texas, declares that Ohio isn’t the best state, won't even drive our roads, has an out-of-state area code, and thinks Ohioans are lazy and mediocre and envious of his riches, run to be Governor of Ohio?

To help everyday Ohioans? To protect our communities from his billionaire class and their big investments? To end the corruption? To lower the costs everyday Ohioans face as the big shots buy off the politicians and make out like bandits?

Of course not.

And why would a billionaire like Musk, with no ties to Ohio, support this guy and ads smearing his opponent?

To help everyday Ohioans? To protect our communities from his billionaire class? To lower costs?

Of course not.

It’s to keep selling Ohio and its assets off for parts to the billionaire class.

While we suffer the consequences of failing outcomes and higher costs.

This isn’t complicated, folks.
