CLEVELAND, OH– On Friday, following a new poll showing Dr. Amy Acton ahead of Vivek Ramaswamy in the race for governor, Dr. Acton appeared on MS NOW’s The Last Word to discuss the momentum behind her grassroots campaign, her plans to lower costs for all Ohioans, and her promise to build a state where we can all get ahead.

- “I can tell you that the people of Ohio are longing for change. They are feeling the effects of these policies, they are exhausted by the hate and the chaos and vitriol.”
- “They are longing for public servants again, who actually solve problems instead of make problems, they are talking about the cost of everyday living, they’re worried about gas and groceries.”
- “It’s healthcare, it’s housing, it’s childcare, it’s property taxes going up, it’s aging in place with dignity. People are ready for change and I am honored and privileged to be in this fight.”
- “I have been working for my entire career to try to make life better for Ohioans.”
- “We see these record crowds everywhere we go. And people are really contrasting me with my opponent, who’s not just out of touch, he is out for himself. His policies are quite frightening to most Ohioans, and I think they are very ready for change.”
- “I’m worried about Ohioans who are working harder than ever and they just can’t get ahead.”
- “So I am fighting to make my state affordable, I’m fighting to end the corruption in our Statehouse, to save our public schools, and so much more.”
- “We have a people’s movement on the ground and we are all going to tell Mr. Ramaswamy in November in no uncertain terms, you cannot buy this state, you can’t buy Ohio, and you can’t buy us.”
