COLUMBUS, OH: Today, Akron Mayor Shammas Malik endorsed Dr. Amy Acton’s campaign. Here’s what he said:

“Amy Acton is a leader with integrity and a track record of working hard for Ohioans – during the pandemic and throughout her career. She’s spent the past year putting in the work of campaigning all across our state – in our cities, towns, and suburbs – talking with folks about her vision for Ohio’s future and listening closely. In my conversations with her, I’ve found someone whose instinct is to bring us together, not divide us, and who is ready to be governor on Day 1. I’m proud to endorse her campaign and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and help out.”

“Mayor Malik is part of the new generation of mayors in this state who are moving our wonderful cities forward with vision, empathy and common sense. He is the epitome of a public servant, focused on the day-to-day challenges everyday Ohioans face. I am so honored by his endorsement, and look forward to working with him and Ohio’s mayors as we turn our state around and rebuild our partnership with local government.”
