Less than 100 days before the election, Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton has been endorsed by the Ohio Association of Professional Firefighters. This key endorsement was announced in Cincinnati, where Acton pledged to fight for issues important to firefighters and union workers.
Leadership and Community
Acton credited the kindness of firefighters and neighbors who helped her during a tough childhood in Youngstown, Ohio. She expressed her commitment to supporting everyday Ohioans, rather than out-of-state billionaires.
State leaders in the firefighter community pushed back against negative ads targeting Acton’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying she saved lives. Director of government affairs for the Ohio Association of Professional Firefighters, Steve Stein, praised Acton’s leadership, stating that decisions about safety are not partisan.
Acton and Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy are running to replace term-limited Governor DeWine. Election day is on November 3.
