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.”
The GOP candidate has called for the Ohio governor’s race to return to policy after a campaign ad triggered bipartisan criticism. newsweek.com/vivek-ramaswamy…

One of Gary, Indiana's most interesting and unique industrial ruins; Gary Screw and Bolt. At every turn, there is something different to aim one's lens at. Color? Texture? Rust? Light? Lines? GS&B's got 'em all!

#OHPol: "Amy Acton is from Youngstown. Spent her entire career helping people. Vivek? He peddled a drug for Alzheimer's patients that didn't work. Now he's a billionaire ... Jeep people built Ohio. Jet people like Vivek Ramaswamy fly right over it."

An early morning shoot at an abandoned factory/turned office building near downtown Detroit, Michigan, the Renaissance building in the background. I so hope this place gets the TLC and renovation love it deserves.
So @VivekGRamaswamy had to pay an "actor" to claim she is from Wooster Ohio to be in his latest ad.
I bet @ChairmanAlex is so proud of his candidate and party. What a joke. – at Fort Wayne, IN

Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine on Vivek Ramaswamy's attack ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged and abusive mother:
“The ad, on its face is, deeply, deeply troubling. But when you know the rest of the story, when you know the backstory, when you know that the husband of the mom was indicted by a grand jury after hearing testimony, and then he took off along with the mother. When you know that, it just... makes it more serious. It makes it just more wrong. So it's wrong to run this... I would just urge the Ramaswamy campaign to take this down."

#OHGov: D candidate Amy Acton is up on TV with this spot --
Acton to camera:
"Ohioans, we're doing everything right. But, the cost of health care, child care and energy bills, it's all too much"
"As governor, I'll fight for all of us. To lower costs, cut taxes and stop data centers from raising our bills. Together, let's find more breathing room and let's heal what has divided us"
"A new day is dawning in our state and it's time for a change in Ohio"

Bad men gain power when we don't fight back.
Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power.
Ohio deserves better.
I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.

I don’t care what political party you belong to or which candidate you support.
There are lines we shouldn’t cross, and this is one of them.
We can disagree on plenty of things without losing our sense of decency.

@AbdulElSayed skillfully handles a bigoted Islamophobic heckler and exposes him as the true religious zealot in the room.
