Costs are too high, and communities like Marietta are being asked to shoulder even more — including the risks posed by wastewater injection wells that threaten their drinking water. Marietta is a beloved community… 1/

If this isn’t about Dr. Acton's childhood, then why use a woman who sided with Amy's rapist, lost custody when Amy was 12, and hasn’t known or seen Amy in 48 years? And if you do believe she was raped, why would you ever air a mother who sided with the rapist to talk about anything?! 1/

Republican Governor Mike DeWine just called on Vivek Ramaswamy to pull his repulsive attack ad. Ramaswamy’s gutter politics are beyond shameful. He will lose in 12 days and it will be because Ohioans know he is a pathetic man who is not fit to lead.

Vivek Ramaswamy lashes out while trying to pretend he didn’t feature a pedophile in his most recent ad. He then lied and said he pulled the ad off the air. But that same pedophile was STILL featured in his ads all weekend. Even during the Browns game.

Shaming Amy for being a survivor. Featuring a woman who blamed Amy for her mother's death - all while she lived in Kentucky, not Ohio. Tens of millions of dollars spent on blatant lies. There has never been a more desperate and pathetic campaign than Ramaswamy's.

Once again, Vivek Ramaswamy’s closing message is all about him. Amy Acton and I are running to help you. For us, public service to Ohio is the honor of a lifetime.

Amy Acton earned the trust of Ohio through a lifetime of public service. Scam artist Vivek Ramaswamy thinks he can buy that trust. Ohioans are making it clear they’re not for sale.

From campus to the union hall to Carroll County, it’s been another busy couple of days on the road. Thanks to everyone at the University of Akron, IUPAT District Council 6 and the Carroll County Democratic Headquarters for the conversations and warm welcomes.

Great stops in Clermont, Fayette, Butler, Ashtabula, and Lake counties last week. Lots of Ohioans and plenty of great conversations along the way. Love spending time traveling across the state and hearing from folks about what matters.

$1 million dollars spent on a private jet to fly around the state of Ohio. I can’t think of anything more pathetic. But then I remember how he made his money.

When it comes to traveling Ohio, Amy Acton chooses a Jeep Wrangler made in Toledo, Ohio. I choose an American-made Ford F-150. Both assembled by the hardworking men and women of the @UAW. We'd choose that over a Canadian-made Bombardier any day.

Lots of talk out there. But given the chance to actually act on data centers, Vivek Ramaswamy refuses. Same with the statehouse. Pathetic.

All talk. No action. Putting Ohioans’ first isn’t difficult. Ohioans have been clear; we need a conditional moratorium to lower costs, end NDAs and protect communities. Ramaswamy is making it clear he can’t be trusted to put Ohioans’ first

One of Ramaswamy's biggest talking points (and his excuse for flying around Ohio on a private jet) is that we should "celebrate” his success “instead of villainizing it." Why should struggling Ohioans "celebrate" the fact that he has 2 billion dollars 1/

while they're working to put food on the table and gas in the car? Like Amy does, Ramaswamy should be celebrating Ohioans and the hard work they put in every single day just to get by. Instead, he whines that we need to celebrate him, 2/

Vivek Ramaswamy spends much of his time mansplaining to Amy Acton how she should run her campaign. Never really seen that before. But if we’re gonna give out advice, Vivek, here’s some for ya: - try driving instead of flying—you’ll see and learn so much more about our state 1/

- yes, it’s frustrating to blow $70M and have little to show for it—but always remember, trust is earned, not bought - sometimes it’s better to listen — you may not know as much about a topic as you think you do, and when you start going on about it, you give yourself away 4/

- people are working harder than ever, but they can also cheer on sports or compete for prom queen at the same time - voters can do math, so they know when things don’t add up - sports fans can spot a phony fan a mile away - AI slop makes your ads far less credible

- try paying attention in conversations…you’re leaving the impression that you’re mainly doing this to run for president - when your staff visibly cringes at a video, don’t post it - don’t travel out of Ohio so much—it’s leaving a terrible impression - stick to sports you’re good at 2/

- county fairs are about the community and the kids…not you - Ohio IS the best state - if you do start driving the state, be sure to travel to our great colleges and universities—you’ll quickly see why your idea to get rid of them went over so badly 3/

Trust must be earned. Vivek Ramaswamy thinks Ohioans’ trust can be bought. Which is why he’s losing despite spending more than $60M on misleading and disgusting attack ads. 49 days.
