#Republican candidates for Ohio Governor#

Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is planning to run for Governor of Ohio, a move that has garnered widespread attention. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and cryptocurrency advocate, had championed the freedom of self-custody wallets, free from regulatory constraints, during his 2024 presidential bid. He previously served as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration, focusing on regulatory cuts and restructuring federal agencies. While Ramaswamy's campaign hasn't been officially announced, he is expected to make his announcement soon. His campaign is expected to focus on Ohio's economic development and cryptocurrency-related legislation, including the establishment of a state-backed bitcoin reserve. Ramaswamy's candidacy will be a major highlight of the Ohio gubernatorial race, as he joins other Republican candidates vying for the party's nomination.
