Description
Democratic Ohio gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton criticized an ad involving her birth mother, saying it exploited a woman who was unwell, and described the public response as a reminder that childhood trauma and poverty affect many families. Acton said her own childhood shaped her focus on public schools, libraries and programs for children, and she called for a child tax credit and immediate help for families facing high costs. On school funding and property taxes, she said fully funding public schools would ease pressure on local taxpayers, while supporting a homestead exemption and a rebate for sharp tax increases. Acton said she would oppose tax breaks for high-income earners and public spending on stadium deals, and argued that childcare costs and affordability should be state priorities. She defended her decision not to debate Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, criticized his campaign’s rhetoric and said she would work with lawmakers from both parties if elected. Acton also discussed the close race, her potential to become Ohio’s first elected woman governor and her belief that voters want a return to more civil, results-focused public service.
