“Mayer Could Easily Be the Republican Candidate.“
Announcement of Run for Governor Gets Statewide Coverage and Establishment Disdain
Watch former State Representative and long-time Columbus insider Gene Krebs state “Mayer could easily be the Republican candidate“ in 2026 and why that is the case here.
Listen to my announcement on the Bruce Hooley Show here.
Read the Columbus Dispatch article “Republican think tank leader Matt Mayer says he’s running for Ohio governor in 2026“ here:
Read the Statehouse News Bureau’s coverage in “Just weeks after election, candidate announces he's planning a run for Ohio governor in 2026“ here.
See the picture below for how my announcement was a top headline in the Columbus Dispatch, Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Akron Beacon-Journal.
How did the Establishment react? I heard they voiced disdain for the announcement. My response: I’m their worst nightmare, so I’m not surprised they have to take a pill of disdain to sleep at night;-)
In other news, I’ve received lots of emails from across Ohio in support of my run, including invites to speak to key Republican clubs in the coming months and offers to hold fundraisers. Let’s keep building momentum by (1) please passing along my announcement and agenda to as many Ohioans as you can, signing up to “Join the Movement” at www.ohiomatt.com, and asking your local or country Republican club to invite me to speak. I believe firmly my message will resonate across Ohio IF IT IS HEARD/SEEN. You can help make that happen.
Thank you and cheers!
