Invested in the outcome
Vivek Ramaswamy's Fossil Fuel Agenda, Investment Portfolio, and Donor Network
07/21/2026, by Terra Goodnight
A new report from Innovation Ohio examines Ramaswamy’s close relationship with the fossil fuel industry and what it could mean for Ohioans if he becomes governor.
The fossil fuel executives funding Vivek Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial campaign would benefit from his energy agenda. With millions invested in the industry, so would he. But Ohioans would pay the price with dirtier air and water and higher utility bills.
Fossil fuel corporations and executives have thrown their support behind Vivek – and they stand to make even more money if he wins. Based on Ohio secretary of state filings, fossil fuel industry donors have given more than $490,000 to Ramaswamy's campaign through a combination of individual and PAC contributions.
If Ramaswamy becomes governor Ohioans can expect more fracking, more mining, and more data centers powered by fossil fuels.
