Happy Father’s Day! Hope every dad is a king today. 😀

Cut the red tape & unleash an economic boom that lifts up Democrats & Republicans alike. Great visit along with my friend Senator Senator Rob McColley to the Baughman Tile Company in Paulding, OH where they make 120+ million feet of pipes every year.

Get the cell phones out of the classroom. Elevate standards in math, reading, and writing. Require every high school graduate to pass the same civics test required of naturalized citizens. Expect more of ourselves & each other.

We’re going to turn our state into a summer tourism destination for America. It’ll be good for visitors, good for Ohio’s revenue base, & good for entrepreneurs like Bryan and Amanda in Port Clinton. Great stop at the Portage River Paddling Company this weekend, our family loved

It’s not complicated.

Ohio is blessed with every natural gift we could wish for to be the state that leads America back to greatness. All we have to do is believe in ourselves to do it. Great conversations with community leaders in Defiance, OH last night.

Our educational achievement deficit is the biggest unnoticed crisis in America. We spend 6.1% of our GDP on education, way more than average OECD nation, yet we rank well below the OECD average on math performance. Students in China are 4+ years ahead of their U.S. counterparts.

Vivek has got the A-team backing him—and the list just keeps growing. Thank you to all our endorsers. The June 30 finance deadline is around the corner, and we’re not slowing down.

If kids can’t read at the end of 4th grade, then they shouldn’t graduate to 5th grade until they can. Artificially “passing” students & patting them on the back isn’t compassion. It’s cruelty.

The top national risk we face over the next 20-30 years is our failing K-12 education system. U.S. students are 4 years behind peers in China & 5 years behind vs. Singapore. In an era of AI & automation, that’s unacceptable. It’s up to states to lead & we’ll pave the way in Ohio.

Unprecedented unity in Ohio. Great meeting with business & community leaders in greater Cleveland this week. This isn’t about left vs. right, it’s about up vs. down.

Educational outcomes are declining across America, but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Incredible visit back to Williams County in northwest Ohio today. Enjoyed a lively discussion with Mayor Ed Kidston, local leaders, and several high school & college students.

Beautiful night on the banks of the Maumee River. It’s time for a modern-day Northwest Ordinance.

Huge $1m event in Cincinnati for Vivek Ramaswamy happening ahead of the filing deadline. Thanks to all who are supporting.

The educational achievement crisis is the single greatest national threat of our time. 75% of 8th graders in our country aren’t proficient in math & they’re 4 years behind their peers in China. We’re going to turn it around in Ohio & save our youth from living in China’s shadow.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s momentum is undeniable—and it’s only growing. cincinnati.com/story/news/pol…

Ohio faces the risk of rotating blackouts by 2027. There’s more demand on our electric grid than ever, but we’re short on power generation due to the left’s war on coal. The solution is natural gas, but permitting is slow. We don’t have an energy problem, we have red tape problem

If we’re really serious about elevating educational achievement, early childhood education is an important part of the solution.

The jobs that AI could soon displace are “white collar” ones, but ChatGPT won’t be fitting our pipes or replacing our roof tiles anytime soon. Counterintuitively, that’s likely to drive more young people to become welders, electricians & machine operators. “The trades” may soon

The Ottawa County Republican Party annual fish fry with Vivek Ramaswamy was a massive success! Congrats to Chairman Jill Stinebaugh for another great event.
