Vivek Ramaswamy Promises Zero Income Tax in Ohio Governor Race
Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running to be the governor of Ohio, said he wants to make Ohio a state where people don't have to pay income tax.
He thinks this will help the people keep more of their money.
He also said he will work quickly to fix problems if he gets elected.
Additionally, he chose Rob McColley, a conservative lawmaker, to be his partner in this race.
Ramaswamy believes that his business experience will help him do a better job than a politician.
He also promised to lower property taxes and improve schools.
Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-origin Republican, is running for Governor of Ohio and has promised to eliminate income tax in the state.
He announced Rob McColley, Ohio Senate President, as his running mate for lieutenant governor.
Ramaswamy emphasized the need for a businessman to run the government efficiently, not a bureaucrat.
He promised the biggest property tax rollback in Ohio's history and improvements in public school performance.
Currently, nine US states do not have income tax, and Ramaswamy believes Ohio can achieve this as well.
