“I’m running for governor because Ohio is in desperate need of a comeback,” Cranley said.
Cranely detailed his “Ohio Comeback Plan” in a video on social media.
“I am the only candidate running with a detailed plan to bring our state back. Talk is cheap. If I don’t get it done in my first term, I won’t run again. I know a comeback is possible because we’ve done it in Cincinnati.”
His plans include an Alaska-style natural gas dividend, a guarantee of 30,000 jobs per year that pay at least $60,000 annually, and legalizing marijuana to help fund it, according to a news release.
