Vivek Ramaswamy has plans for Ohio — reshape public schools, cut regulations and slash spending, per a report.

And he is hoping to bring these plans to fruition by declaring his candidacy for governor of Ohio, NBC News reported.

Get cell phones out of the classroom. Start physical education in kindergarten. Bring back the presidential fitness test. The best way to save on health costs in the long run is to foster a healthier population in the first place. It’s going to be up to the states to step up &…

The aggressive agenda is akin to the agenda Ramaswamy helped develop for President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

However, he hesitated when asked about the similarities in an interview with NBC News.

“There are a lot of people sort of eager to sort of make that analogy and characterization,” Ramaswamy said. “But I think I characterize my vision for Ohio expansively.”

Ramaswamy, 39, stepped down as co-head of DOGE, a position he held with Elon Musk.

He said decided to not follow through with running DOGE to focus on Ohio.

“President Trump, Elon and I had a great relationship but talked about exactly where each of us was going to drive maximum change for the country,” Ramaswamy said. “And, for me, I believe that leading from the front here in Ohio and setting an example for the rest of the country and, frankly, even bringing some of the principles of efficiency and spending and deregulation to our state would be the way that I as a leader would be able to have the biggest impact.”

Ramaswamy filed paperwork earlier in February and started raising money. He is expected to make the announcement Monday night in Cincinnati. 

Current Gov. Mike DeWine (R) cannot seek a third consecutive term.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced his candidacy in mid-January. State Treasurer Robert Sprague, who had been preparing to run for governor, announced his candidacy for Ohio secretary of state.
