Dr. Amy Acton

I was proud to join striking UAW Local 2192 members in Lorain County yesterday as they continue their fight for fair pay and better healthcare.

Ohioans are working harder than ever, and still can’t get enough breathing room. When I’m governor, working families will come first. Always.

We must prioritize community partnership with law enforcement, fully fund local police forces, and support our first responders. Tragedies like this need to end.

Thank you to our first responders and local law enforcement for their swift response to the horrific shooting in Cincinnati’s East End last night. They have my full support as they work on apprehending the suspect.

Campaign huddle alert! Join us and get involved with Team Acton on March 2nd. See you there — link below.

Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy continues to double down on harmful education policies that will raise our taxes, hurt our schools and our kids, and says he wants to "eliminate" unions like the OEA.

Our public schools and teachers deserve our full support, and that's why as governor I'll fully fund our schools, secure free breakfast and lunch for Ohio’s kids, and invest in bringing state of the art, cutting edge education to our schools.

It was an honor to join the Toledo Federation of Teachers yesterday to share my plans for Ohio's public education system.

Public schools saved my life as a child, and as governor, I’ll fight for fully funded schools, higher teacher pay, and a great education for every student.

It was so great meeting with Black female business owners this morning in Toledo for a roundtable about issues facing businesses and entrepreneurs in the area.

It is a true honor to receive the endorsement of Ohio AFL-CIO, a federation of over 500,000 working people in all 88 counties in our great state. I will always be a pro-labor, pro-union governor.

Acton: Ramaswamy sees Ohio from window of private jet. He doesn't get what you need. Amy Acton: Vivek Ramaswamy is completely out of touch with the lives of everyday Ohioans. Medicaid and Medicare shouldn't be put in his hands.

Vivek Ramaswamy doesn’t understand the stakes Ohioans are facing, and he never will.

This isn’t a matter of cutting back at the grocery store or pinching pennies; it’s catastrophic.

Thank you Jefferson County! As governor, no community will be overlooked by me.

I was proud to stand on the picket line with the United Steelworkers Local 700T during their fight for fair pay, better healthcare, and worker protections, and I'm glad to see they've reached an agreement with Libbey Glass.

As governor, I'll always put workers first.

Remembering the derailment means committing to accountability, transparency, and putting Ohioans' health first.

As a public health doctor, I know disasters like this have devastating effects. Families deserve clear answers, long-term health monitoring, and care that meets the reality of what they’ve been through. As governor, I'll see that through.

Three years ago today, the East Palestine train derailment upended a community, and EP residents are still facing the health impacts today.

Petitions turned in and ready to win in November.

Thank you to the thousands of Ohioans who signed @davidpepperoh.bsky.social ‘s and my petitions, and to the volunteers who helped us circulate!

This is what people-powered looks like.

This pattern of corruption and unaccountable giveaways is precisely why property taxes are so high across Ohio.

Past scandals show we desperately need more transparency over who runs these schools and over potential conflicts of interest. Not less.

And in this case, we’re talking more than a billion dollars in public funds.

Ohio Ethics Commission kills charter school disclosure rule after political pressure The Ohio Ethics Commission voted to indefinitely set aside a rule that would have required officials overseeing $1.6 billion in charter school funding to report income sources and investments.

This is another example of how Vivek Ramaswamy and his allies are making your life worse.

Ohio is taking taxpayer dollars from hardworking Ohioans and using them to fund for-profit charter schools.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the victims and survivors and confront the devastating cost of hatred. Remembrance carries responsibility: to speak out against antisemitism in all its forms.

As this winter storm moves through Ohio, stay safe and continue to look out for your neighbor. Extending a huge thank you to our road crews who are working around the clock to help keep us safe!

What we are witnessing in Minnesota is not normal or okay.

Law enforcement should be keeping people safe by going after dangerous criminals, not by terrorizing communities.

The people of Minnesota deserve a full and transparent investigation, safe streets, and basic human dignity.

As governor, I'll fight for your right to affordable healthcare on day one.

Hundreds of thousands of hard-working Ohioans opting out of unaffordable care is no solution. It's a tragedy — and a reflection of how politicians continue to leave people behind.

No matter what our corrupt Statehouse or Vivek Ramaswamy says — you deserve affordable healthcare. It shouldn't be this hard.

Ohio’s young people deserve a candidate who is fighting for a future where they can get ahead.

That’s why I’m fighting to invest in our public education, prioritize workforce development, and lower costs so all Ohioans can thrive. Thrilled to be with you all!
