Where Ramaswamy stands

Position history

Property tax rollback

  1. Jul 17, 2026 (Town hall, Strongsville)
    I can deliver that property tax cut without hurting local police, fire, or schools because that's what they were working with just a few years ago in the pre-pandemic era
  2. Sep 3, 2026 ("The State of Ohio" interview)
    The net effect is the property tax base is going to be rolled back in aggregate to where it was before the end of the pandemic
  3. Oct 2026 (Endorsement interview)
    One of the things I pledge to do is to reset the property tax baseline to where it was a few years ago, before the end of the pandemic.

Property taxes

  1. Oct 20, 2026 (Interview with WLWT)
    The most tangible thing I'd like to follow up on as soon as I'm elected is bringing down the property tax burden in this state. It is insanely high. They have more than doubled in many areas since the pandemic, and it doesn't have to be that way. We're going to roll it back to where it was years ago. The biggest property tax cut the state's ever seen.
