"If you make a stand, you will be opposed. If you fight, you may lose the fight. But if you don't fight, you may lose everything."
These words by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost are foundational to the years of dedicated service he has given to his home state. That bulldog tenacity was forged at a young age while growing up in a working-class household north of Columbus.
Though he is running for governor of his beloved Ohio home in 2026, Stand: An Ohio Life is no political platform, no blueprint for how he would govern. This book is more useful than that--it is a look inside the mind and soul of a person who offers to lead. Conditions change over time, as do problems and the solutions proposed to solve them. The core of someone seeking the public trust, Yost believes, should grow but not fundamentally change.
Stand is a memoir that comes directly and honestly from Yost's heart, a testament to his journey of growing faith and humanity that shapes enduring values, such as fighting the abuse of power, embracing the dignity and responsibility of the individual, and allowing free speech and the free exercise of religion.
All of us, whether or not we seek public office, would do well to stay curious about these and other beliefs that are fundamental to the strength of our nation. Discover Attorney General Yost's story now, and join him in a commitment to stand for what is right.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Dave Yost was elected Ohio's 51st attorney general in 2018 and reelected in 2022 with more votes than any AG in the state's history. Former prosecutor, journalist, musician, grill meister, and charter member of the Buckeye Nation, he spent much of his life in rural Ohio, where he and his wife, Darlene, raised three children. They have spent the last decade in Columbus, learning to navigate an urban environment as conservatives.
Attorney General Yost has extensive experience rooting out corruption and fraud and fighting for increased government accountability and transparency. He previously served as Ohio's 32nd auditor of state, where his public corruption investigations resulted in more than 170 criminal convictions, and he found more than $260 million in potential taxpayer savings.
Attorney General Yost is a prolific writer and has been published in media as varied as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the National Review. He was elected by his peers as president of the National Association of Attorneys General. He and Darlene have five grandchildren, all of whom live in Ohio.
