Dr. Amy Acton launches Democratic campaign for Ohio governor in 2026
Snip Cleveland.com
COLUMBUS, OhioDr. Amy Acton, who became a statewide celebrity of sorts as state health director during the early days of the coronavirus crisis, filed paperwork Tuesday to run for Ohio governor in 2026.
Acton, who has been hinting at such a run since last summer, is the first Democrat to launch a 2026 gubernatorial campaign. Few expect her to be the only candidate from her party to run, though their partys eventual nominee will likely be an underdog in a state where Republicans have won the last four races for governor.

BTW She is an Alma mater of my boys high school here.

(19,600 posts)on top of promoting Covid safety precautions, she didn't let goons threatening her family stop her from doing her job. We'll need a candidate like that.

(35 posts)....the republicans are laughing their a$$es off about this here due to her Covid shutdown, masks, etc. So I'm wondering what this is really about.
Lets put the heart back in the heart of Ohio! Shes going to need some deep pockets to fight the November lies!
