Acton Endorsed by All Members of the Ohio Senate Democratic Caucus Leadership, and Six of Nine Democratic Senators
COLUMBUS, OH: Today, the Ohioans For Amy Acton campaign announced an endorsement from Ohio Senate Minority Whip Kent Smith. Dr. Acton has now been endorsed by six of Ohio’s nine Democratic senators, and all four members of the Ohio Senate Democratic Caucus leadership:
- Minority Leader Nickie Antonio (OH-23)
- Assistant Minority Leader Hearcel Craig (OH-15)
- Minority Whip Kent Smith (OH-21)
- Assistant Minority Whip Beth Liston (OH-16)
“The Ohio Governor’s race is about trust. With people’s expenses rising and self-serving DC and Columbus politicians looking out for their interests, Ohioans are looking for someone who will make things better, not worse,” said Senator Kent Smith. “I know Dr. Amy Acton will look out for us because we all have already seen her do that. The only thing her Republican opponent has done is move his business out of Ohio. I trust Amy Acton and Ohioans can trust her too. She has my support to be Ohio’s next Governor.”
“I am proud to endorse Amy Acton for Governor of Ohio,” said Minority Leader Nickie Antonio. “She is a committed, courageous, and compassionate public servant who has dedicated her life to serving all people. Because of her deep integrity and proven leadership, I am confident that she will be a true Governor for the people—putting the interests of hardworking Ohioans ahead of politics and powerful special interests. Amy Acton represents the positive change Ohio needs—both now and for our future.”
“I’m so proud to have Senator Smith’s support, and the support of the entire leadership team of the Senate Democratic Caucus” said Dr. Acton. “They are dedicated leaders to all citizens of Ohio and of their districts, and I thank them for their service to our state. I’m grateful for their trust in my vision for a stronger Ohio, and look forward to working alongside them as governor.”
