While Vivek Ramaswamy is busy spewing garbage and lies, I'm focused on lowering costs and making life better for Ohioans. Watch our new ad now.
Of course it’s Vivek’s ad.
Well here we have it, as reported by @MorganTrau, Ramaswamy's campaign acknowledges the Amy Acton mom ad is his.
"At first, the Ramaswamy team did not take explicit responsibility for the ad... After this story aired, Ramaswamy confirmed it was his ad."

The court records speak for themselves. Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is disgusting—there is no lie, no scam, and no shameful act too low for him.
.@VivekGRamaswamy campaign responds:
ALT Attributable to Connie Luck, spokesperson for the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign: “We don't know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of Amy Acton at age 12 after Acton's stepfather was charged with raping her. Arthur stayed married to him until his death. Acton and her brother have been estranged since. Multiple outlets cite 1978 court records of the charges.

Vivek Ramaswamy is unfit for any public office.
At any level.
And the sooner this conman and low life is off the public stage, the better.
Vivek Ramaswamy lashes out while trying to pretend he didn’t feature a pedophile in his most recent ad.
He then lied and said he pulled the ad off the air, but that same pedophile was STILL featured in his ads all weekend. Even during the Browns game.
Disgusting. This is NOT the leadership Ohio families need.
Another day, another scandal for billionaire scam artist Vivek Ramaswamy: he’s now facing questions about a potentially illegal coordination with the Super PAC he has ties to with the very classy name “V-PAC: Victors, not Victims.”
This cheating, illegal coordination and corruption needs to end. Ohioans deserve a governor who follows the law and puts our state first.

Vivek Ramaswamy just released a new ad featuring a registered sex offender and then wiped the evidence from his social media accounts. You can't make this up.
Shaming Amy for being a survivor. Featuring a woman who blamed Amy for her mother's death - all while she lived in Kentucky, not Ohio. Tens of millions of dollars spent on blatant lies.
There has never been a more desperate and pathetic campaign than Ramaswamy's.

Once again, Vivek Ramaswamy’s closing message is all about him.
Amy Acton and I are running to help you.
For us, public service to Ohio is the honor of a lifetime.
To all the hardworking Ohioans struggling to make ends meet: you don’t need to celebrate that Vivek Ramaswamy has 2 billion dollars like he’s asking you to. What a ridiculous and out of touch thing to say.
Wonder if this tweet was sent from 30,000 feet.
Sad to see McColley embarrassing himself like this….
This nonsense has already been debunked.

Amy Acton is LYING!!! An expired license is not the same as a suspended license. Only the BMV or a court can suspend a license. She was charged with a 1st Degree Misdemeanor punishable by jail time and she doesn’t remember why?!

Vivek Ramaswamy is only interested in serving himself and his billionaire friends.
His campaign priorities are centered around giving handouts and tax cuts to the top 1% so he can get richer while everyday Ohioans struggle under the weight of rising costs. @amyacton is running so she can lower costs for hardworking Ohioans.

“Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign did not respond to questions for this story, continuing a months-long pattern of declining to answer questions from The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com about his positions on major policy issues.”
Months of zero answers from Ramaswamy.
cleveland.com/news/2026/10/o…
Vivek Ramaswamy has been asked for his views and plans on key Ohio policies for months.
Over and over again, he refuses to even respond.
Not one word of response on everything from education to cannabis to health care.
This is what scammers and liars do. Ramaswamy has spread desperate and baseless lies about Amy Acton for a year because he knows he's losing. Then he wants to pretend he's a good guy when the cameras are on. Ohioans see through it.
Gov. Candidate @VivekGRamaswamy (R-OH) says when he tried to greet opponent Amy Acton (D) at an event where he had also greeted Sherrod Brown (D) "Her entire team was prepared for it, they flanked her, put a circle around here...blocks me...that's not America."
