GOP gubernatorial candidate in key state touts getting ‘results’ in race against Ramaswamy

Ohio Republican Attorney General Dave Yost, who is vying for the governorship against tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in the primary, recently shared his perspective on the campaign in an interview with Fox News Digital. Yost highlighted the key difference between their campaigns, emphasizing his record of tangible results over mere rhetoric.

During his time as the state auditor in Ohio, Yost played a crucial role in uncovering $260 million in efficiency savings. He emphasized his commitment to combating fraud and waste, particularly in reference to the DOGE program, highlighting his track record of holding wrongdoers accountable.

Yost also pointed to his tenure as the state’s attorney general, where he has been focused on fighting crime and public corruption. He highlighted the fact that more than 170 individuals have been incarcerated as a result of his efforts, underscoring his experience and effectiveness in upholding the law.

While Ramaswamy has garnered endorsements from prominent figures like President Trump and Elon Musk, recent polling data suggests that he holds a significant lead in the race. However, Yost remains optimistic about his prospects, citing the positive reception he has received from Ohio residents who are eager for new leadership.

One area where Yost believes he has been transparent is his stance on the death penalty, contrasting it with Ramaswamy’s undisclosed position. Yost expressed support for the death penalty, emphasizing the need for safeguards and the importance of delivering justice in certain circumstances.

Yost also addressed concerns about taxpayer funding for professional sports stadiums, cautioning against burdening citizens with the costs of these projects. He advocated for a more prudent approach to allocating public funds, emphasizing the need for a clear plan and limits on spending.

As he continues to engage with voters across Ohio, Yost highlighted the economy and everyday issues as top priorities for residents. He also noted that Trump’s tariff policies, which have faced criticism from Democrats, are more positively received in the state, with many businesses seeing potential benefits from fair and reciprocal trade agreements.

In conclusion, Yost reiterated his commitment to leveraging his record of results and experience to lead Ohio towards a prosperous future. Despite the challenges ahead, he remains confident in his ability to deliver meaningful change and address the concerns of Ohioans.
