“Dr. Amy Acton launches Democratic campaign for Ohio governor in 2026”
Snip Cleveland.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Dr. Amy Acton, who became a statewide celebrity of sorts as state health director during the early days of the coronavirus crisis, filed paperwork Tuesday to run for Ohio governor in 2026.
Acton, who has been hinting at such a run since last summer, is the first Democrat to launch a 2026 gubernatorial campaign. Few expect her to be the only candidate from her party to run, though their party’s eventual nominee will likely be an underdog in a state where Republicans have won the last four races for governor.
