John, it’s Amy Acton, candidate for Ohio Governor. 

I am an Ohio native, and I’ve spent my career giving back to the state that I grew up in. From serving as a nonprofit leader advocating for Ohio’s physical and economic well-being to guiding Ohioans through a once-in-a-lifetime public health crisis as the Director of the Department of Public Health during COVID-19, I have always worked to make life better for Ohioans. 

But my opponent, far-right Trump loyalist Vivek Ramaswamy has already shown that he will back Trump – even at the expense of Ohioans.

He recently appeared on Fox News (of course) where he PRAISED Donald Trump’s “fast and furious” executive orders. 

For my opponent, these rapid changes are something to be “grateful” for – but he’s so out of touch with the reality of what Trump’s actions mean for Ohioans. 

Trump is censoring critical information about health services and he has blocked the CDC from updating medical professionals about disease outbreaks. That’s going to hurt Ohio’s ability to be prepared for emergencies. Plus, he’s enacting massive tariffs that are going to have a devastating impact on the affordability of common goods. And Vivek Ramaswamy thinks Ohioans should be “grateful” for that? 

Ohioans deserve a Governor who understands the issues that are impacting our state. That’s why my team and I set a goal to raise $25,000 so we can defeat Vivek Ramaswamy and stop an out-of-touch billionaire from “leading” Ohio. Can we count on you to help us hit our target by making a split contribution between my campaign and Blue Amp Action today?

John, Vivek Ramaswamy does not understand the struggles the average Ohioan faces every day – but I do. 

Growing up, my family experienced periods of homelessness. My brother and I often wondered where we were going to sleep at night or when our next hot meal would be – and I know what I experienced is the same painful reality for too many Ohioans. 

As Governor, I will NEVER turn my back on those in need. I will work head-on with people across party lines to make life better for all Ohioans – not just the wealthy and the powerful. 

I will be the leader Ohio needs. So will you please split a contribution between my grassroots campaign and Blue Amp Action today so I can get the resources together that I’ll need to take on a billionaire like Vivek Ramaswamy?

Be well,

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!
