Ramaswamy Spends Big to Reinvent Himself, But Ohioans Aren’t Buying It

Ramaswamy Spends Big to Reinvent Himself, But Ohioans Aren't Buying It

DGA spokesperson Izzi Levy released the following statement on Vivek Ramaswamy's multimillion-dollar effort to change the conversation in Ohio after months of scrutiny over his private jet travel to the tune of $800,000, his hostility to Medicare and Medicaid, and his support for harmful cost-raising policies that even Gov. Mike DeWine said would be "absolutely devastating":

"Vivek Ramaswamy calls Ohioans 'lazy' and 'mediocre,' but today's ad buy shows he must think they're stupid too. Unfortunately for Ramaswamy, his record speaks for itself: calling Medicare and Medicaid a 'mistake,' suggesting higher costs are just a 'perceived' issue, and threatening to send everyday costs surging by as much as 20 percent. Ramaswamy's toxic agenda is a non-starter and Ohioans know they can't afford him anywhere near the governor's office."
