My name is Dr. Amy Acton and I’m campaigning for Governor of Ohio. 

I’m a mother, grandmother, preventative medicine and preventative medicine doctor, and a Youngstown native. 

I’ve spent almost my entire life in Ohio. I grew up moving from place to place, often not knowing where we would sleep or if my brother and I would eat dinner that night. I worked hard to put myself through college and medical school before serving as the Director of the Department of Health.

Unlike most of our leaders, I don’t believe the answer to fixing my state is giving politicians more power — the answer is giving hardworking families more freedom. 

Our families deserve better than political games and self-serving politicians who stand in the way of making real change for Ohioans. 

That’s why I’m running for Governor of Ohio. So right now, I’m asking you to split a donation between Blue Amp Action and my campaign before midnight tonight →

John, when Ohio’s Republican Governor Mike DeWine asked me to serve in his administration as the Director of the Ohio Department of Public Health in 2019, I had no idea what was coming. 

I don’t always agree with Governor DeWine, but I put partisanship aside and we worked together to tackle the opioid crisis, weather the pandemic, and save lives. That’s because the problems we face don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. They just need fixing.

And that’s exactly how I plan to serve as Governor. I’ll fight to lower costs, make our communities safer and more business-friendly, and give power back to the people…not politicians. 

But I can’t do this alone. This race is going to be tough, and I will need all the help I can get. So today, please split a donation between Blue Amp Action and my campaign right now and become a critical member of the campaign that will flip Ohio blue and keep the state moving forward →

Sincerely,

Dr. Amy Acton

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
