John, I’m Dr. Amy Acton and I’m a Democrat running for Governor of Ohio. 

I’m a doctor, not a politician. I care deeply about families, public health and advocating for Ohioans who are struggling.

But when Governor DeWine asked me to join his administration as Director of the Ohio Department of Public Health in 2019, I had no idea what was to come. 

When COVID-19 spread like wildfire I worked side-by-side with Democrats and Republicans alike to defend Ohioans against the pandemic, the scourge of opioids, and fight for public health across our state.

I believe that the best way to find solutions and help people is to work with folks from all walks of life and with all different viewpoints. And that’s exactly how I will lead as Governor.

The problems we face don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. They just need fixing. And John, I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, either. I’ll fight for you and your family just the same.

But I can’t win this race alone, that’s why I’m asking for your help today because we have set a goal to raise $50,000 to kick off this campaign. 

If you’re ready to put an end to political games and get to work solving problems, please split a donation between Blue Amp Action and my campaign before midnight tonight.

Be well,

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.
