Dr. Amy Acton is looking to trade her lab coat for the Ohio Governor’s office. A physician, a researcher, and the former Director of the Ohio Department of Health, she was the steady hand during the early days of the pandemic — earning her the JFK Profile in Courage Award.
Now, she’s launched a bid for governor in Ohio — a state too many have written off for Democrats. And her running mate is someone you know very well from Lincoln Square — David Pepper. Together, they’re running to address the affordability crisis, fix rising health care costs, and improve education for all kids in the Buckeye State.
Tune in to hear about why she’s running — and what she has to say about her GOP opponent and DOGE alum, Vivek Ramaswamy, calling Medicare and Medicaid a “mistake.”
