During the Ohio gubernatorial race, Vivek Ramaswamy promised the largest property tax relief package in Ohio history and announced plans to sign an executive order investigating localities where property taxes have doubled since the pandemic. Ramaswamy also pledged efforts to prosecute Medicaid fraud. Amy Acton countered by proposing an expansion of the homestead exemption and pledging a tax cut for working families. Polling averages compiled from eight surveys place Amy Acton ahead of Vivek Ramaswamy.
