As anger at Trump and MAGA leadership grows across Ohio, voters are looking for competence, compassion, and credibility. Dr. Amy Acton is meeting that moment.
Our GOP politicians here in Ohio only won due to gerrymandering. They care about ideological slop like requiring high schools to teach a life sequence (look this up, it's awful) and bringing in data centers that will only deplete our resources while bringing in minimum jobs. Oh, and pumping money into oligarchs’ pockets - they're the GOP, of course.
They couldn't care less about the urban poor. The Appalachian poor. The farmers. The workers. The women. The marginalized. The middle class.
They don't give a single damn.
I hope we vote them out so hard, the rampant gerrymandering here won't even matter. I love my state. It deserves better.
Dr. Amy Acton for Ohio!!!!! We need you and I hope you will be able to un-Gerrymander Ohio, we need to have FAIR ELECTIONS. Vote Amy Acton, Vote for Ohio, Vote Democrat. 💙💙💙💙💙
A smart Doctor who has experienced hardship and has overcome is very inspiring.
She could be relaxing enjoying her success, instead she wants to fight and improve the life of others.
Imagine if the billionaires were like Dr Acton instead of being evil and greedy. Republicons have caused enough suffering, get rid of them. They've forgotten they're meant to work for the best interests of the people NOT themselves.
Great interview, Ben. Thank you for introducing us to Dr. Amy. I live in Michigan and Ohio is my neighbor. I’ve spent a lot of time there. Ohio was traditionally Blue along with Michigan in trump showed up.
The truth is the filthy rich have so much wealth that it doesn't effect them at all. They need to pay living wages and tax and stop hoarding all the money and resources. They have more wealth than they could ever spend in 1000 lifetimes.
Weird, isn't it? Money buys servants and services most folks can't afford, yachts swimming pools, private schools, private planes, high-priced club memberships, etc., but you only need a few million to be secure in that lifestyle. There are only three worthwhile advantages I can see to having much more wealth than that: inheritance for generations of decendants, funding endowments for good causes, or buying political power to control countries and large numbers of people. It behooves us to stop anyone using wealth for the third reason. And the effect of taxing the very rich a good deal more would not have overall negative effects on the first two wealth advantages for descendants or society. I could give reasons why, but I'll leave that to you here.
I can't wait! My hometown of Toledo has always been pretty progressive, but I've been noticing a shift in the rural areas of Northwest Ohio as well. More people are waking up from the MAGA fever dream.
That's great! I'm in Ohio too and those NW farmers are pretty rich, as unlikely as it seems. They're Germanic and quite industrious, but they fund a lot of the GOP hanky-pank that has been going on. And they traditionally vote GOP.
As a tiny blue dot in the red state of Ohio, I am so ready for a change. Dr Amy truly has a pulse on the true needs of the state and will push to provide for the many, not the elite few! It will be quite the breath of fresh air if she wins
Exactly. You could hear the loud anti-maskers yelling at him during their daily COVID updates. I do wonder what the COVID casualty rate eventually was among them. DeWine is not exactly brave.
NE Ohio here 💯💯💯 for Dr. Amy Acton!!! DeWine is soooooo out of touch with reality and Husted and Moreno are straight up losers!! Time to turn Ohio BLUE for good!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Amen! They are all so crooked and their GOP Ohio House leader is in prison for racketeering. That FBI investigation and reveal led to two suicides. There are others going free who are still implicated.
Dr. Amy Acton did an amazing job during covid! She was so professional and honest during a very difficult situation. Im so excited to vote for her and see all the great things she will do in Ohio!
After being born and living on military bases, I grew up in Ohio and I've seen a deterioration under Republicans that is pure ego and grift. As a child, we lived close to the Indiana border, and I can remember how much better our roads were. Even though my parents trended blue, my two half-sisters both married conservative farmers, but that was back when Ohio conservatives were sane.
Ohio has been a perfect laboratory for MAGA, and it is quite sophisticated how they've managed to go about it...not sloppy, not blunt, but deviously clever.
Our blue cities are growing, our rural areas are not thriving, but Democrats have been so boxed in by gerrymandering, one would never know it.
Until now. And the proverbial sh*t hits the fan when the economy goes down. I never thought that SE Ohio would start to shift, but since SNAP and healthcare are threatened, people there are rethinking their choices. They are tribal, mostly poor, and come from KY and WV. Really used to hard times, but when your federal subsidies are threatened, it's a heads up moment.
I don't think they were "deviously clever." They used the bludgeons of gerrymandering and voter suppression. There's nothing "clever" about secretary of voter suppress... I mean STATE .... Frankie "Jim Crow" LaRose. He's open about what a piece of lying undemocratic scum he is.
None of them are honest. But Ohioans didn't notice what they were up to until it was too late and then they had it fixed. I knew Jennifer Brunner personally for years, and she was the best SOS that Ohio had (and the best Supreme Court justice they have now), but the minute they got rid of her as SOS, they proceeded to break the system again.
Dr. Amy Acton all the way.

I'm in Tennessee and they implemented the life sequence in school. I pray y'all vote them way out!
Let the Pedophile Protection Party walk on broken glass for the next 1000 years
Great interview, Ben. Thank you for introducing us to Dr. Amy. I live in Michigan and Ohio is my neighbor. I’ve spent a lot of time there. Ohio was traditionally Blue along with Michigan in trump showed up.
I’m sure voters will turn out for Dr. Amy.
I might need to volunteer to phone bank for her.
Thanks again.
Have hope!
🤜🏽🤛🏻
But what about groceries and gas? Lowest ever according to Trump ;)
You believe the eveyday LIAR who's not EVER bought food (groceries) in his miserable life? Seriously?!?
Rump cannot read or do math!
World's biggest liar and after!
Oh and of course, convicted felon!
Child mollester and his appointees and supporters are guilty of cover-up conspiracy!
So CA stands with Ohio for USA!
Will Putin reveal if Cum-guzzler-pole smoker Cankles McTaco tits swallows when the the Orange pedo goes down on him??
Not one of you noticed the smiling emoji at the end of his sentence? Last I heard that implied humor...a joke...sarcasm. Take your pick.
Ya mean the every day LIAR?
Maggot
Rump is a very high-volume liar
You don't really believe rump, do you?
Is this sarcasm, or do you mean it?
Obviously. I don't understand the folks questioning it.
Hahaha, I guess we can take it or leave it?
What a strange and untruthful remark!
Well rumpie, he lies
Alot!
I bet he hasn't checked nor does any one around him have the guts to tell him!!
What are the results after Universal Healthcare:
Rural Hospitals ^
Medical profession ^
Drug price controls ^
Rn (nurse pay) ^
All good for We the People ^^^
At who's expense? The filthy rich.
(Who do we want to be?)
The truth is the filthy rich have so much wealth that it doesn't effect them at all. They need to pay living wages and tax and stop hoarding all the money and resources. They have more wealth than they could ever spend in 1000 lifetimes.
Plus they shelter most of it through companies, trusts etc. and end up paying less tax than the middle-class!

The people have more power than the people in power. Republicons are the politics of desperation and despair.
Ohio is a great state, from CA!
That Vivasmarmy guy is was just horrible in the debates-arrogant like the rest!!
Women have the empathy needed to fix things. That's just a fact. Usually. Forget Margaret Thatcher.
Please......for the grace of God.......no more Democratic sell outs!!!! United we stand....divided we fall.
Well said!

Reelect Marcy Kaptur. The Republicans talking about running are uniformly awful.
Well Ohio is in the auto business a bit I think as well, right?
As a tiny blue dot in the red state of Ohio, I am so ready for a change. Dr Amy truly has a pulse on the true needs of the state and will push to provide for the many, not the elite few! It will be quite the breath of fresh air if she wins
Go Amy Acton!!!
Trump will call her “ low IQ despite her degrees… because Trumps base is sexist
Absolutely he will, and we need to have her back every time!
Isn't it funny how it's always women he calls "low IQ"?
Watch for a mirror image for Vivek.
Amy Acton is for action! What a great interview with this powerful woman. :)
She is awesome!
she'll kick ass in Ohio and the citizens deserve a governor like her . she is running a grass roors campaign so donate if you can and want to.
Amy Acton showed she was leadership material during the COVID lockdown. She was always honest, direct and compassionate.
If there was a gap in the data, she would say so. Never any spin or deflection. She’s going to be a formidable opponent.
I hope she’s up for what the dark moment PACs are going to throw her way but having seen her in action in 2020, I like her chances.
Yes. She helped DeWine to get positive national attention for her efforts, as she is an epidemiologist, I believe.
And then DeWhiny de Spineless stabbed her in the back when the MAGAs in the legislature scowled at him.
Exactly. You could hear the loud anti-maskers yelling at him during their daily COVID updates. I do wonder what the COVID casualty rate eventually was among them. DeWine is not exactly brave.
So many powerful women out there!!! Go girl go!!!
Women "take" the power!!! Ditch the "mico-mushroom maggot dicks"......their pickups and nazi flags!!!.
He'd better get used to it! And while he'll never admit it, he brought it on himself.
Yup!!
oh Ohio's going to vote blue and we're done with Trump
GO OHIO💙💙. Too much Red in Montana, but my glass is always half FULL.
NE Ohio here 💯💯💯 for Dr. Amy Acton!!! DeWine is soooooo out of touch with reality and Husted and Moreno are straight up losers!! Time to turn Ohio BLUE for good!!!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Amen! They are all so crooked and their GOP Ohio House leader is in prison for racketeering. That FBI investigation and reveal led to two suicides. There are others going free who are still implicated.
Wow! Really! Yikes!!
Don't forget Useless (Husted) is up for retention next year (he was appointed by DeWhiny.)
Ohio is so grateful that Dr Amy Acton is standing up and to crush Ramashammmy
Dr. Amy Acton did an amazing job during covid! She was so professional and honest during a very difficult situation. Im so excited to vote for her and see all the great things she will do in Ohio!
I live in Ohio and see her as a light on the horizon.

You nailed it! And Im NE OH.

Ohio resident here - I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and help Dr. Acton elected. What a breath of fresh air!
