"We will implement DOGE-style efficiency at the state level — cut the waste, end the bureaucracy, and give Ohioans their money back." (Ohio Governor Campaign, 2026)

"In his book Truths: The Future of America, published in September, Ramaswamy sketches out a possible DOGE playbook. In a section called 'The Path Forward' he lays out a 3-step plan. The first step — to 'appoint a czar who is accountable for permanently taming the administrative state' — has already been completed, with Trump creating DOGE. The second, he writes, is to embed lawyers in every agency to find unconstitutional regulations. And the third step: present these findings to the president — who could end regulation through executive order and therefore eliminate [government] jobs and possibly entire agencies. 'The appointed czar could lay the groundwork, so long as the president is ready to sign on the dotted line,' Ramaswamy writes.""

"I will end sanctuary city policies on day one... We will use the U.S. military to seal that border — not ask, not request, use the U.S. military." (2024 GOP Primary Debate)

"He has managed to gain traction in the Republican field, building on positions like...supporting an end to birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrant parents.

'We can’t be a nation that says, we have these laws, but we somehow turned the other direction to reward the people who broke the law while there are millions more waiting to come here legally through the front door who we say can’t come. We can’t abide that hypocrisy,' he said in September in an interview with NBC News. 'Birthright citizenship does not and should not apply to the kids of parents who entered this country illegally.'"

"Reasonable immigration policy:

1. No migration without consent.
2. Consent should only be granted to migrants who benefit America.
3. Migrants who enter without consent should be removed.

If Democrats disagree with any of that, they should say why. Voters deserve to know."

"TRUTH.

1. God is real.
2. There are two genders.
3. Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
4. Reverse racism is racism.
5. An open border is no border.
6. Parents determine the education of their children.
7. The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
8. Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
9. There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
10. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history."

"Parents know what is best for their kids, not the U.S. Secretary of Education
@SecCardona
. I will shut down the U.S. Dept. of Education without apology & use its $80+ billion budget on school safety, school choice, and vocational programs, instead of foisting toxic ideologies onto kids."

"If you believe boys should compete with girls in girls’ sports, you have no place in this movement."

"The U.S. Dept of Education strikes again - now saying local schools can’t stop boys from competing in girls’ sports. It’s appalling that we spend *$83 billion per year* on this toxic agency. It’s rotten waste. That’s why I’ll shut it down without apology. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/06/education-department-unveils-title-ix-transgender-sports-eligibility-rule-00090894"

"Here's the way forward on election integrity: 1. Single Day Voting 2. Make Election Day a national holiday 3. Require an ID to vote 4. Require proof of citizenship to register to vote." (LinkedIn post, 2023)

"I recently became a gun owner, and I'll tell you why. It's because the Second Amendment was made for times like today." (NRA Convention, 2023)

"...I have already pledged to shut down the FBI and to rebuild a new federal law enforcement apparatus from scratch. This new apparatus can perform the function of background checks without creating a gun registry or shadow database - and I will shut down the ATF whose culture has become so toxic that it cannot merely be 'reformed,' Ramaswamy will say, according to a preview of the speech obtained by Fox News Digital.

"...Ramaswamy will also call for expanded Second Amendment rights for Americans, including making constitutional carry the 'law of the land.'

'I will support a national constitutional carry law that allows Americans to carry their firearms on their person, no matter what state you live in,' he will tell the crowd."

"It's perfectly legitimate to say that we won't allow genital mutilation or chemical castration through puberty blockers. If you're after 18 years old, you're free to decide whatever you want to do — that's what it means to live in a free country." (2024 Presidential Campaign)

"There isn't a state in this union that allows you to smoke an addictive cigarette before the age of 18, that allows you to get a tattoo before the age of 18 – that's a body-altering change that a kid may later regret in life," Ramaswamy said. "So, I think it is perfectly reasonable to say that if you're after 18 years old, you're free to decide whatever you want to do. That's what it means to live in a free country. But below the age of 18, I think it's perfectly legitimate to say that we won't allow genital mutilation or chemical castration through puberty blockers."

"Life ends right when brainwaves end — that's how we determine when life ends on the back end. I think we should apply a consistent principle on the front end, that's around the six-week mark." (2024 Presidential Campaign)

"Ramaswamy is against a federal abortion ban, but he does support a six-week abortion ban at the state level. Ramaswamy has described himself as 'pro-life' and wants to expand post-birth policies that support mothers and fathers, and end federal funding to Planned Parenthood.

'Let’s walk the walk with respect to being pro-life as the U.S. president,' he told NBC News in September. 'I do support ending federal funding for Planned Parenthood on a number of grounds … The federal government should not be spending money on funding its favorite pet causes.'

"To everyone who wants to:
- Ban gas stoves
- Mandate electric vehicles
- Mandate Covid vaccines
- Implement lockdowns
- Ban “hate” speech
- Mandate diversity quotas

“MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS!”

If that’s your point
@Tim_Walz
, welcome aboard. And if not, cut the damn shtick."

"[Dr. Acton] led Ohio to be the *first* state in the nation to shut down public schools during Covid. Students suffered. Small businesses suffered. Families suffered. Now she wants to ruin our state again. She’s never coming anywhere near the levers of power in our state again."
