Ohio Home.
America First.

I’m Casey Putsch, your America First candidate for Ohio governor. I grew up in Tiffin, raised by generations of veterans and small business owners who instilled in me a deep respect for service, hard work, and integrity. Being a third generation Ohio State University Alumni, Ohio has always been my only home, and always will be.

I am a product of Ohio, and my life has been a reflection of the American dream.

I am living proof that with some initiative and a tool box, we have the power to better our future. This is what led to founding the Genius Garage Educational Program, inventing the 104 MPG Omega Car, and restoring the house my family lives in. I will forever fight so that everyone may build their dreams too.

Starting a family made me think about what I could give to the next generation. From there, I knew I wanted to ensure kids from across Ohio could continue the American automotive tradition and have the same opportunities that Ohio had afforded to me. Through my charity, Genius Garage, I have done exactly that, teaching young adults practical engineering, car building, and team racing. Over the years, I have invested more than 10,000 hours teaching the next generation and have earned accolades from multiple presidents for helping Ohio’s youth gain skills and opportunities necessary to achieve the American dream. This has in turn made the difference in landing them incredible jobs.

Seeing firsthand the curiosity, growth, and determination that can be inspired in our kids has shown me that there is still immense hope and opportunity for Ohio’s future. But we must fight for it. I see the political establishment working against this, selling out our next generation and ignoring the skill and talent that should give these kids a shot at the American dream.

On my YouTube channel, I have built a grassroots audience from all walks of life where I speak not only about cars, but about the challenges we face. I aim to bring my leadership and teaching experience to inspire Ohio and secure a future we can all look forward to.
