COLUMBUS, OH: Today, Dr. Amy Acton’s campaign for Governor announced an endorsement from former Cuyahoga County Commissioner, former State Auditor, and former Attorney General, Republican Jim Petro. 

“In my time in office in Ohio, I always found that the best way to get the most important public service done was to roll up your sleeves and work across party lines to identify and solve problems facing everyday Ohioans,” said Jim Petro. “That’s what the voters want, and that’s what works best. Ohio needs those types of leaders now more than ever. I am excited about Dr. Acton’s candidacy for Governor because that’s exactly how she led, alongside Governor DeWine and in partnership with officials across the state and across the aisle. I have no doubt she will do the same as Governor of Ohio.” 

“I agree wholeheartedly with Jim,” said Dr. Amy Acton. “And it’s what I hear every day on the campaign trail: We won’t turn Ohio around until we build a broad, bipartisan coalition committed to cleaning up the broken politics of today, and until we start working together to deliver better results for everyday Ohioans. I’m honored by Jim’s endorsement, and for the support and encouragement from other independent and Republican voters across Ohio.”
