Join host Radell Lewis on Purple Political Breakdown for an in-depth conversation with Timothy Grady, independent candidate for Ohio governor in 2026. In this comprehensive interview, Grady outlines his vision for a "Rust Belt Renaissance" while tackling Ohio's most pressing issues: government corruption, the housing affordability crisis, soaring property taxes, and energy independence.

Grady, a lifelong independent with a background in economics and anti-money laundering, discusses his anti-corruption platform stemming from the Larry Householder scandal, innovative solutions to Ohio's housing shortage, and his all-of-the-above energy strategy including solar, nuclear, and data center development. The former Ohio Forward Party chair differentiates himself from Republican Vivek Ramaswamy and Democrat Amy Acton by offering concrete economic policies aimed at lowering costs for everyday Ohioans.

Key topics covered:

Breaking the two-party duopoly in Ohio politics
Property tax reform and housing development strategies
Energy innovation: solar panels, data centers, and cheap electricity
Fighting political corruption and cronyism
Revitalizing Ohio's small cities and rural communities
Economic development through innovation and investment

Whether you're concerned about rising utility bills, property taxes, or seeking an alternative to partisan politics, this episode provides crucial insights into Ohio's 2026 gubernatorial race and the independent movement reshaping state politics.

Timothy Grady is building a grassroots movement focused on honest government, economic opportunity, and making Ohio work for all its citizens - not just the politically connected.
