Amy Acton Wins Ohio Governor Race, Defeating Vivek Ramaswamy Amid Controversy
Democrat Amy Acton won the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial race, defeating Republican Vivek Ramaswamy and becoming the state's first woman governor in two decades. The campaign was marked by a controversial Ramaswamy ad featuring Acton's estranged mother, which drew bipartisan criticism. Acton, a former state health director known for her COVID-19 leadership, campaigned on healthcare and affordability, while Ramaswamy, endorsed by Donald Trump, focused on tax cuts and economic growth. The result ended a long Republican hold on the governor's office.
