snip-"It's official: Republican entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will face off against Democrat Dr. Amy Acton in the race to replace Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine.
Ramaswamy, 40, of Upper Arlington, easily defeated his primary foe, Casey Putsch, after a roller coaster GOP primary that started in early 2025. Ramaswamy said the victory projected strength and unity among Republicans headed into what could be a competitive general election.:

Ramaswamy consolidated GOP support last year, forcing Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost out of the race. Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, a former Ohio State University head football coach, considered, but ultimately didnt pursue, a gubernatorial bid."
