This makes the Ohio governor’s race even more competitive, especially with the GOP field expanding beyond establishment figures.
Heather Hill is positioning herself as a grassroots candidate, contrasting with figures like Ramaswamy, whose wealth and national profile could be both an asset and a liability.
Meanwhile, Dave Yost’s presence adds another layer of competition among Republicans with government experience.
It will be interesting to see how Hill’s messaging resonates with Ohio voters, particularly her criticism of political musical chairs.
If she gains traction, it could indicate a broader frustration with entrenched political figures.
On the Democratic side, Amy Acton remains unchallenged for now, but that could change as the race develops.
