Columbus, Ohio - New reporting from Signal Ohio revealed Vivek Ramaswamy's Super PAC Victors Not Victims took more than a quarter of a million dollars from IT Serve Alliance, then failed to refund the contributions until after Ramaswamy received backlash from online conservatives.
In November 2025, Vivek Ramaswamy canceled a planned speech last minute at IT Serve Alliance's annual conference in Puerto Rico following backlash from his own party over IT Serve Alliance's support for outsourcing American jobs.
IT Serve Alliance contributed $100,000 to V-Pac on November 18th, 2025 and an additional $175,000 on December 1st, 2025. V-PAC then refunded all $275,000 in contributions on December 3rd, 2025, just two days after the controversy began.
"Vivek's allies' willingness to accept more than a quarter of a million dollars from an organization that wants to outsource American jobs only to scramble to save face after getting caught proves once again Ohioans can't trust Vivek Ramaswamy to fight for them," said Ohio Democratic Party spokeswoman Katie Seewer. "It's on-brand for a candidate who calls Ohioans lazy and tells struggling families they're just imagining the rising cost of living."
