Fellow Republicans,
The Ohio Legislature and Senate President Rob McColley’s caucus took important action on property tax reform to make the system more transparent and fair for Ohio taxpayers. You can see President McColley’s statement below, along with more than 20 updates from across the Legislature that show what happens when Ohio Republicans come together and take action for the people we serve.
Early voting is now underway across Ohio, and this is our moment to make an impact. Every local election matters, and we need Republicans turning out in every community to Keep Ohio Red from now through Election Day.
That same commitment to common sense is at the heart of Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign. He’s leading on energy reform and pushing for solutions that lower costs for families, protect jobs, and keep Ohio competitive. His vision reflects the kind of forward-thinking leadership that will keep our state strong for generations to come.
It’s a busy season, and you can feel the energy across Ohio. This update highlights nearly 50 direct messages from Republicans across the state who are working every day for the taxpayers they represent. Together, we’re building momentum, standing firm on our conservative values, and delivering results for the people of Ohio.
God Bless,
Alex M. Triantafilou

📚 Vivek's Bold Education Reform: No 4th Grade Until You Can Read

🎓 Vivek: Education Crisis is Top Threat to American Exceptionalism
"The top threat to American exceptionalism is the educational achievement crisis & we have a moral mandate to lead our children out of it." Vivek frames education reform as essential to national greatness and moral imperative for next generation.
🎉 Senate President McColley: Another Attendance Record for Vivek

🗺️ 73 Counties Visited: Vivek's Grassroots Movement Growing Fast
State Representative D.J. Swearingen reports Vivek has visited 73 of Ohio's 88 counties and "is just getting started." Taking his "message of unity and renewal to every corner of Ohio" – the movement is growing fast with unprecedented statewide grassroots reach.

MAGA Minute
Another week, another string of victories from President Trump and the America First movement. Here's what's happening across the country:
President Trump has responded to Hamas's acceptance of the 20-point Middle East peace plan—accepted by Israel, Arab Gulf nations, and virtually every single country around the world. The President looks forward to the release of all hostages in Gaza and a peaceful and prosperous region.
 
While Democrats plotted a government shutdown, President Trump signed an executive order to unlock AI to drive cures for pediatric cancer and drive down prices for medications across our country—putting American families first.
 
Democrats in Congress decided to bring our government to a shutdown in pursuit of a radical agenda, most notably giving healthcare to illegal aliens—costing our country $15 billion in GDP each week.
 
The Democrat shutdown puts vital healthcare and housing programs for veterans at risk, along with assistance programs for vulnerable mothers and children—a complete travesty.
 
The Democrat shutdown forces our men and women in uniform to currently work without pay—shameful political games by the left driven by fear of activist groups.
 
Democrats need to get a grip. Fund our government. Follow President Trump's lead. Call your Democrat senators and tell them to vote for the Clean Continuing Resolution to open the government—they work for you, the American people.
