Hi John, it's Dr. Amy Acton, Democrat running for governor of Ohio.

The drive from Cleveland to Cincinnati takes just under 4 hours.

Apparently, that's too long for Vivek Ramaswamy.

While I drive a union and Ohio-made Jeep from campaign event to campaign event, Vivek is shelling out $160,000 — to a company he appears to own — to rent a private jet.

In just the last few months, he's used that jet to fly across our state and even out of the country. It's the perfect imagery for what he believes, John — that he's above us.

Vivek wants to push a narrative that Ohioans are lazy and don't work hard enough. But I’m literally on the ground with Ohioans, seeing the struggles they are facing every day.

Property taxes are skyrocketing, public schools are way underfunded, and healthcare access is becoming a thing of the past.

I’m Dr. Amy Acton, the Democrat running for Ohio governor. I understand these struggles. I lived in 18 different homes and even a tent by the time I was in high school.

That struggle shouldn't be a common theme in our state.

Vivek is an out-of-touch billionaire with an agenda that starts and ends with serving himself. I'm running for office not to serve myself, but to serve the people of Ohio, John.

Can I humbly ask you to split a contribution of $10 or more between my campaign and Blue Amp Action? I know your money is hard-earned, so I wouldn't ask unless it was critical, and I promise I won't use it to rent a private jet.

Be well,

Amy
