Ohio GOP Uses Amy Acton Cutouts in Campaign

Ohio Republicans are deploying eye-catching life-size cutouts of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton at all 88 county fairs this summer, tying her to pandemic shutdowns during her tenure as health director. The strategy aims to remind voters of early COVID-19 decisions, including controversial fair restrictions made under Governor Mike DeWine, who insists he—not Acton—held ultimate authority over closures. Acton’s campaign counters by praising her public health work and pivoting to criticize her GOP rival Vivek Ramaswamy, highlighting past comments he made about mandatory testing and risk-based isolation. The cutouts will stay on display through the summer as Ohio heads to the polls on November 3 to choose their next governor. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
