Final day of our Promise for Ohio tour. First stop, Zanesville: enjoying the best donuts in the nation (ranked two years in a row) at Donald’s Donuts with friends and supporters.

Good morning, Ohio. Here's your reminder that Vivek Ramaswamy is a billionaire scam artist who flew his private jet to Paris on America's 250th birthday, while @amyactonoh celebrated in Marietta — our first settlement. Here's your reminder that he protects, platforms, and campaigns with sexual abusers. That he scammed Ohio families and left them hopeless. That he called Medicare and Medicaid "mistakes" and wants to dismantle them. That he called Ohioans lazy, mediocre, and "envious" of his wealth. In 2 days, he's going to find out that he can't use his billions to buy Ohio.

Vivek Ramaswamy told reporters this week that his disgusting ad “ran to completion.” But in reality, only a fraction of its planned $4 million ad buy ever aired. He didn't take it down because the buy was finished - he pulled it because he's desperate, scrambling, and facing incredible backlash from within his own party. Now he's trying to spin the truth to cover his tracks. newsweek.com/vivek-ramaswamy…

The Ironton Tribune had not endorsed in an Ohio Governor’s race in more than a decade, but felt compelled to this year: “[T]his election presents not just a crucial moment in governance, but moral test as well. The outcome will shape the political and civic climate in this state for years to come….” “Given the challenges Ohioans are facing and the need for solid leadership, we feel Acton has demonstrated her commitment to the state, outlined solutions and is clearly the best choice for the job.”

What a night in Toledo! Northwest Ohio is fired up and ready to send Amy Acton to the Governor’s Office. Just four days to go!

So he wants to talk policy now? Amy Acton has earned every newspaper endorsement thus far because, in contrast to Vivek’s scam plans, she is serious about solving the problems holding Ohioans back. As the Toledo Blade said, “Acton brings a proven track record of crisis management and institutional leadership to the statehouse.” “Her commitment to curb corruption in Columbus would be an enormous improvement to state government.”

Wonderful day across Northern Ohio yesterday, talking to UAW retirees in Parma, then early voters in Erie, Wood and Lucas counties. Three more days to vote early in person. And if you still have your absentee ballot, be sure to drop it off at the Board of Elections.

Nothing like a hometown crowd! Cincinnati showed up big last night, and I couldn’t be prouder to be back home rallying for Amy Acton with my two sons, Jack and Charlie. Let’s go win this thing, Ohio!

“Why are you associated with so many?”
Looks like @VivekGRamaswamy had quite a warm welcome at his rally last night 👍

In 5 days, your disturbing, depraved campaign ends. Ohio is not for sale, and working families are not a mark for your latest scam. Ohio deserves lower costs and a path to a better life, not misleading ads and empty promises.
Thanks Chillicothe, it was an incredible night. Fight for us for 5 more days & we’ll fight for you for the next 4 years. ❤️

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, and the people who call it home deserve lower costs, good jobs, clean water, and leaders who will put their health and safety first. That's exactly why @amyactonoh has committed to a 3-year moratorium on wastewater injection wells in Washington County. mariettatimes.com/news/2026/…

NEW: Ohio Lt. Gov. candidate @DavidPepper says @VivekGRamaswamy cannot pass the blame to outside consultants for his latest controversial ad: "This was all on Ramaswamy himself” Watch the full episode of The Weekly Assignment on Lincoln Square: lincolnsquare.media/p/david-…

This is disgusting, deplorable behavior. Vivek Ramaswamy is unfit to serve. Should be nowhere near power or public service. He shouldn’t be trusted in business either.
We already knew Donna Arthur sided with her husband after he raped her 12 yr old daughter Amy Acton and then fled the state with him after he was charged with rape. She hasn’t seen Acton since the 1970s. Now we learn that @VivekGRamaswamy found Arthur as an 82 yr old homeless ..

"Our endorsement of Acton rests on more than Ramaswamy’s failure to meet a basic standard of decency. She has earned consideration on her own record, her preparation and her commitment to the people she seeks to serve." Cleveland Plain Dealer reverses their decision to stay neutral and endorses @amyactonoh — a true leader and public servant. cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…

Thousands of Ohioans showed up today ready to make their voices heard and show their support for @amyactonoh. The energy was incredible, and we’re carrying that momentum all the way to November. 10 days.
