Overview

• Ramaswamy’s campaign announced raising $9.7 million between late February and the end of June, shattering previous Ohio statewide benchmarks.
• The haul reflects support from more than 40,000 individual donors and over 50 fundraising events since his Feb. 24 launch.
• Backed by President Trump and Elon Musk, Ramaswamy has leveraged high-profile endorsements to bolster his outsider appeal.
• Ohio GOP’s formal endorsement in May prompted Attorney General Dave Yost to suspend his gubernatorial bid, consolidating the Republican field.
• With his financial advantage intact, Ramaswamy now faces only Democrat Amy Acton as a declared opponent for governor.
