NEW AD: Vivek for Ohio — “Cornerstone”

Vivek's plan to deliver real property tax relief for all Ohioans — while protecting police, fire, and public schools.

Watch: “Cornerstone”

0:30 | Campaign Ad

Owning your home is a cornerstone of the American Dream. But for too many Ohio families and seniors, skyrocketing property taxes are making it impossible to hold on to what they've worked a lifetime to build.

Today, the Vivek for Ohio campaign launched “Cornerstone,” a new statewide ad highlighting Vivek Ramaswamy's plan to deliver real property tax relief — rolling back rates to levels seen before the end of the COVID pandemic, while protecting police and fire services and supporting stronger public schools.

In the ad, Ohio senior homeowner Roger Walker puts it simply: property taxes keep going up, costing seniors everything they've worked for — and making it impossible for the next generation to afford their first homes. Vivek believes when you own your home, you're in charge.

This is part of the historic $10 million ad buy that launched on March 13, running statewide across broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital platforms.

"Vivek knows property taxes are crushing Ohio's seniors and working families. That's why delivering real property tax relief has been a top priority since Day 1. He's listening to Ohioans and offering real policy solutions to make life more affordable, while our opponent offers nothing more than empty promises that will cost Ohioans more."

Since receiving President Donald Trump's endorsement on the first day of his campaign and the Ohio Republican Party's endorsement in May 2025, Vivek has built a broad coalition of support from conservative lawmakers, community leaders, labor unions, law enforcement, and business leaders across the state.

That momentum translated into record-breaking fundraising in 2025 — with the campaign raising $19.8 million, the largest single-year total in Ohio gubernatorial history, with an average contribution of just $76.
