Antani suspends Secretary of State campaign
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Former Ohio Sen. Niraj Antani announced Wednesday that he has suspended his run for Secretary of State.
Antani will instead campaign for state Treasurer.
This news comes after current Treasurer Robert Sprague announced last week that he was forgoing a run for Ohio governor in favor of Secretary of State position. That announcement followed speculation that Trump-backed businessman Vivek Ramaswamy would seek the state's top job in 2026.
'My team and I have taken the last week to evaluate this new dynamic, and unfortunately we see no path forward to victory with Treasurer Sprague in the race. While I am disappointed, I am not deterred. For the last decade, I've fought against the entrenched establishment who seek to protect the status quo. I will continue that fight,' Antani said in a press release.
