Re "Ohio AG Dave Yost to Costco: Drop your diversity programs or else," Jan. 29. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s push against Costco’s DEI policies is just another example of his pattern of inserting himself into issues that have nothing to do with his role.

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.
