OH-GOV: Vivek Ramaswamy's luxury jet travel continues to fuel criticism in Ohio governor's race

[RandySF]

A new report shows Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is using a new private jet to travel to public and private appearances across the country.

The new report from The Rooster comes after Ramaswamy had appeared to slow down his luxurious travel. The Rooster says the Republican’s Cessna Citation X plane has been grounded at the Quad City Airport in Moline, Ill. since May 4. However, an anonymous source told The Rooster that Ramaswamy has been using a new Bombardier Global 5500 plane out of the Ohio State University airport.

Last Friday, The Rooster published flight records for Ramaswamy’s new private jet, which he has used 54 times so far this year. Ramaswamy’s post-primary election campaign expenditures show that the candidate has racked up an estimated $200,000 in private jet-related costs in 2026.

In February, Heartland Signal reported on Ramaswamy’s campaign expenditures, which showed he spent $780,000 on private jet travel in 2025. The campaign told Heartland Signal that Ramaswamy covered the costs with his own money. Earlier this year, Ramaswamy donated $25 million of his own money to his campaign.
