Members of the Armenian community gathered at the Armenian Estates for a special meet-and-greet with Mr. Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for Governor of Ohio, graciously hosted by Tigran Safaryan and his family.

In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Mr. Ramaswamy shared his vision for the future of Ohio and spoke passionately about leading the next industrial revolution.

He addressed key issues such as education, artificial intelligence, taxation, and his proposed initiatives for his first 100 days in office. He also offered brief but thoughtful remarks on the role of the United States with the Artsakh situation, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that our nation is not “inadvertently aiding and abetting injustices abroad.”

I had the pleasure of offering a prayer and blessing for Mr. Ramaswamy, asking God to grant him wisdom, courage, and discernment as he seeks to serve the people of Ohio with integrity and justice.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tigran, Viola, and their family for their generous hospitality and for bringing our community together for such a meaningful and engaging event.
