COLUMBUS, OH: Today, Dr. Amy Acton’s campaign announced our latest round of endorsements, this time from key members of the Ohio Legislature:
- Ohio State Senator, District 15, and Ohio Senate Assistant Minority Leader Hearcel Craig
- State Representative, District 6, Christine Cockley
- State Representative, District 8, Dr. Anita Somani
Here’s what they’re saying:
“As physicians, Dr. Acton and I understand the intersection of health care and politics,” said State Representative Dr. Anita Somani. “And as physicians, we care for people from all walks of life, seeing up close the everyday hardships people face, from access to health care to higher costs. These are the problems Dr. Acton knows how to address, which is why I’m proud to endorse her for governor.”
“As a doctor, Dr. Acton has healed. As a public servant, she has led. And as a candidate for governor of Ohio, Dr. Acton brings unmatched experience, compassion, and vision,” said State Senator Hearcel Craig. “Ohio will be in good hands with her leadership.”
“Dr. Acton has always believed in the power of listening, collaborating, and leading with empathy,” said State Representative Christine Cockley. “She reminds us that real progress happens when we sit down together, speak honestly, and keep our focus on people.”
I’m thrilled to have these devoted legislators join our campaign,” said Dr. Amy Acton. “It is truly an honor to receive the support of such respected leaders who are committed to serving our state. I look forward to working with our legislature to tackle rising costs, help fund our public schools, and to make Ohio the state we dream of.”
