In response to Dr. Amy Acton’s victory in Ohio’s gubernatorial election, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Dr. Amy Acton, the Ohio Democratic Party, and all the hard-working organizers who worked to flip this seat from red to blue while electing an Ohio Democrat to the governor’s office for the first time in two decades. As an Ohio native who put politics aside to keep families healthy, Dr. Acton has dedicated her career to caring for her neighbors and bringing people together to deliver for working families. As governor, she will stand up for every Ohioan while fighting to reduce grocery and energy costs, make healthcare and housing more affordable, support workers, improve public education, create jobs, strengthen small businesses, clean up corruption, and invest in communities throughout the Buckeye State.”
