To the Editor,
Vivek Ramaswamy received a BA in biology from Harvard College and a law degree from Yale Law School. He entered national politics as the youngest Presidential candidate in 2024.
Forbes estimated Ramaswamy’s net worth at $2.3 billion in September 2026, money derived mostly from his early biotech and financial businesses. His investment portfolio includes every part of the data center supply chain, from chip manufacturers to the tech companies that operate the facilities.
Every time a data center is built in Ohio, Ramaswamy’s chip stocks go up.
Now he wants to be the Governor of Ohio, where he would oversee agencies in charge of regulating data centers like the Ohio Power Siting Board and the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO), as well as JobsOhio, which provides data centers generous tax incentives to build.
Vivek Ramaswany’s deep ties and investments in data centers calls into question whether his policies will put Ohio or his private interests first?
As Governor, Amy Acton plans to add strong guardrails to regulate data centers and protect residents, workers and local communities. Governor Acton will end the secrecy and data center NDA’s (non-disclosure agreements) in Ohio.
This secrecy has allowed one-sided negotiations that undermine community interests and prevent residents from understanding the long-term impacts and risks of these projects.
Governor Amy Acton will demand transparency and accountability in order to ensure the rights of Ohioans.
Vote Amy Acton for Governor.
