Ohio's Dave Yost has joined 18 other Republican state attorneys general is demanding Costco get rid of their DEI policies.

Nineteen Republican attorneys general, including Ohio's Dave Yost, called on Costco Wholesale Corp. to end its workforce diversity policies after the bulk retailer became one of the few companies to defend its practice.

Yost, 68, seeks to succeed two-term Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a fellow Republican, who is term-limited in 2026. He had teased his plans in a somewhat ominous black-and-white video posted to the social platform X in November.
