Tale of Two Campaigns: While Dr. Acton Campaigns to Lower Healthcare Costs, Vivek Ramaswamy is Jetsetting in Europe
COLUMBUS, OH– While Dr. Amy Acton was celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday in Marietta and rallying with nurses and mothers in Delaware County to protect healthcare access and lower costs, Vivek Ramaswamy flew to Europe on his private jet, on Independence Day, for a week-long, luxury vacation.
- Where was Amy? Dr. Acton visited Marietta, where she marched in the local July 4th parade and visited a community picnic, meeting with hundreds of Ohioans to celebrate America’s birthday and hear about the issues most important to them.
- Where was Vivek? Flying to Paris, France, the first stop on his Europe vacation!
- Where was Amy? Dr. Acton was in Delaware County, talking to healthcare workers, moms and community members about protecting access to healthcare.
- Where was Vivek? Geneva, Switzerland.
- Where was Amy? She called for expanded access to affordable healthcare for Ohioans and protecting Ohio’s hospitals from closure, including Delaware County’s Grady Memorial Hospital’s maternal care wing.
- Where was Vivek? Still in Geneva, Switzerland.
- Where was Amy? Talking to impacted mothers and healthcare workers about what this closure would mean for their community.
- Where was Vivek? Still in Geneva, Switzerland.
- Where was Amy? Speaking alongside the Ohio Nurses Association, impacted parents, local leaders, and members of the community to talk about her commitment to protecting and expanding affordable healthcare access.
- Where was Vivek? You guessed it! Geneva, Switzerland.
“The choice couldn’t be clearer. While Dr. Acton is crisscrossing the state talking to Ohioans about the everyday issues that impact their lives, Vivek Ramaswamy is busy gallivanting around Europe in his private jet.” said Addie Bullock, Acton Campaign Communications Director. “Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t just an out of touch billionaire; he’s only out for himself. Ohioans cannot trust him to fight to lower costs, tackle corruption or even stay in his own state during a historic holiday weekend.”
