Why I’m Running

Right now, people are worried, frustrated, and feeling hopeless as Ohio suffers along with the rest of the nation under a corrupt, out-of-touch political establishment. 

Our communities are being diluted by mass immigration, our kids are denied high-paying jobs due to foreign H1B visa labor, and our society is being demoralized by anti-American propaganda in education and the media. While we simply want a better life for ourselves and our children, anti-American elites from both parties are selling us out. Ohio is my only home, and I’m frustrated like you, but I’m not hopeless.

This year, Ohioans have choices. They could choose between the two options the establishment provides: Israel-first Amy Acton, who destroyed Ohio’s economy and freedoms during the pandemic, and Vivek Ramaswamy, a so-called “MAGA conservative” who has repeatedly shown contempt for actual Americans and will only facilitate decline as a member of the political class rather than reverse it.

There is an alternative. Over the past year, I have been asking people here and across the nation to support a third option: someone who will actually care for our people, improve our state, and protect our liberties. Someone who loves our culture, our state, and our nation. That support has not materialized, so I have decided to take matters into my own hands. I’m Casey Putsch. I’m America First, and I am running to be your next governor.
