Republican Ohio gov. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to make ‘special announcement’ in Cleveland
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Republican Ohio governor candidate Vivek Ramaswamy shared he will make a “special announcement” in Cleveland on Wednesday evening.
The event will be held at Windows On The River in the West Bank of the Flats at 2000 Sycamore St.
The doors open at 6 p.m., and the program is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.
Details of this campaign stop have yet to be released.
The announcement comes on the same day the Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio campaign shared it raised $9.88 million during the second half of 2025, which surpassed the previous record breaking $9.77 million raised during the first half of the year, “marking the strongest fundraising performance by a gubernatorial candidate in Ohio history.”
Ramaswamy has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, U.S. Senators Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted, more than 70 legislators, and 65 sheriffs, the campaign listed.
On the other side of the aisle, Dr. Amy Acton is running as the Democratic Ohio governor candidate.
Acton served as the Ohio Department of Health director during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic before becoming Chief Health Advisor.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The Ohio Investigative Unit announced Thursday in a press release that it confiscated a firearm from a 13-year-old.
The unit’s work is part of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s Violent Crime Reduction Operation in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
While agents were making felony arrests and recovering illegally possessed firearms one night, they saw an armed 13-year-old walking near downtown Cleveland.
Agents approached the teenager, took him into custody and discovered the firearm was illegally possessed.
The teen faces pending charges in Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court.
“The Ohio Investigative Unit remains committed to supporting our local partners in reducing violent crime in their communities,” Senior Enforcement Commander Greg Croft said. “Through these multi-agency collaborations, we are working collectively to ensure a safer Ohio for everyone.”
