About
My name is Travis Vought
​
Travis Jon Vought, Libertarian Candidate for Governor of Ohio, is a United States Marine Corps veteran, compliance professional, and nonprofit leader based in Marengo, Ohio.
​
After serving two combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan and finishing his military career as a Staff Sergeant and Human Intelligence Specialist, he transitioned into civilian service through a decade of work in anti-money laundering, risk mitigation, and financial compliance.
Travis currently works as a Vice President with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, where he focuses on policy governance, regulatory standards, and protecting financial systems from abuse and exploitation.
​
In 2025, he founded Veteran Home Guardians, a nonprofit that connects able veterans with isolated, aging, and disabled veterans to provide essential in-home services, transportation, companionship, and safety improvements. This initiative is built on the belief that strengthening community bonds can reduce veteran isolation while enabling veterans to support each other through meaningful work.
​
As a candidate for Governor, Travis brings forward the principles that have guided his professional and volunteer work: individual dignity, community-driven solutions, accountability in government operations, and the responsible use of resources to protect and empower Ohio citizens.
Drawing on both his military experience and grassroots community leadership, he emphasizes practical frameworks that help people directly rather than relying on large bureaucratic systems.
​
Travis lives in Central Ohio with his wife and their children. He continues to volunteer locally and advocate for veteran wellbeing, community resilience, and a freer, more engaged Ohio.
thoughts and ideas from Travis Vought
We can end Owner Occupied Property Taxes in Ohio Responsibly. Ohio families are fed up with skyrocketing property taxes — and they're right to be. The citizen-led push to abolish them via constitutional amendment is gaining steam. That's powerful energy.
But the truth: A demand is loud, but a plan is what actually delivers.
My executive memo lays out a real path forward:
Immediate relief: State offsets 100% of property taxes on owner-occupied primary homes (OOPTO) so families stop paying out-of-pocket Day 1.
Fair replacement: Shift to a simplified flat state income tax with a protected floor — zero tax for those near or below poverty level, ability-to-pay principle.
Schools & locals held harmless: No cuts to essential services during transition.
Growth focus: Remove barriers to work/enterprise so Ohio's economy expands and fills any gaps.
This isn't just "end it" — it's "end it responsibly" while protecting kids' schools, firefighters, and communities. No chaos, no 20% sales tax spikes.
Abolition groups are driving the fight — I'm building the bridge to make it work for everyday Ohioans.
What do you think?
Demand alone, or demand + detailed plan?
