Ohio Gubernatorial Election 2026

Science And Public Health Advocacy Would Be Promoted By Election Of Amy Acton As Ohio Governor, And Annie Andrews As South Carolina Senator!

There is a growing possibility that two Democratic women doctors, who are major advocates of science and public health, may be elected to the Governorship of Ohio and a US Senate seat in South Carolina.

Dr. Amy Acton is a brilliant person who has now moved into a growing lead over Tech Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in the race for Ohio Governor.

As condemned by all decent people, Ramaswamy has reached a new low bar in political campaigning, with his posting of a political ad claiming that Acton has lied about being raped by her stepfather between ages 9 and 12, and with her mother abandoning her and fleeing out of state after her second husband was indicted for rape.

With no contact between her mother, and Acton and her brother since 1978, Ramaswamy had the gall to put the mother in the ad, demonstrating to all moral and ethical people how horrible a mother she was.

Ramaswamy has doubled down on the ad, despite many Republicans, including outgoing Governor Mike DeWine, who had employed Acton as Ohio Public Health Director, calling for the ad to be taken down, and Donald Trump backing the ad and Ramaswamy.

Amy Acton is the kind of person who has, despite her personal turmoil over being raped, accomplished a great career in public service, and will be a great Governor who has promoted the best in science and public health.

Dr Annie Andrews is a brilliant candidate for the Senate from South Carolina, and her opponent, Darline Graham, sister of the recently deceased Senator Lindsey Graham, was appointed and then nominated for the full Senate term, despite having zero qualifications, and demonstrated incompetence. The only reason that Graham has continued on as the candidate for the full term is due to Trump’s promotion and endorsement.

Polls indicate a strong likelihood that both Acton as Governor, and Andrews as US Senator, are likely to be elected, and let’s hope that is the ultimate judgment on the Republican Party, and Donald Trump.

Let us not forget that Donald Trump has hidden much of the Epstein Files, and the strong likelihood that Trump has violated many young girls over many decades, often in collaboration with Jeffrey Epstein, and now is defending the rapist against the victim.

If that is not enough to convince voters, then the nation is in deep, long term trouble.

Ohio Republicans A Disaster, Have Besmirched Ohio Historical Reputation!

The state of Ohio has a great history in many ways, including 8 Ohio Born Presidents, all Republicans, except for WH Harrison, who was a Whig.

William Henry Harrison
Ulysses S. Grant
Rutherford B. Hayes
James A. Garfield
Benjamin Harrison
William McKinley
William Howard Taft
Warren G. Harding

It must be said that none of these 8 Ohio Presidents have ranked high in history, and with Grant and Harding sadly presiding over massive corruption in their eras 50 years apart.

William McKinley is usually considered the highest ranking of these 8 Presidents, with William Howard Taft close behind, and with James A. Garfield, considered a tragic figure, as a potentially gifted President, assassinated after only six months in office in 1881.

Now, we have Vice President JD Vance, who was born in Ohio, and just celebrated his 42nd birthday two days ago, on August 2.

Considered likely to become President during this term, due to Donald Trump’s rapid mental decline and other age related issues, his reputation is not impressive, and if he is still Vice President by the time of the Presidential primaries, he might face strong challenges from other Republicans, most notably Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

But beyond this situation, we also have the scandalous situation involving Cleveland area Congressman Max Miller, involved in a divorce from the daughter of Senator Bernie Moreno, with all kinds of horrendous accusations of abuse and threats to his former wife and their 2 year old daughter.

Moreno is calling for Miller to resign from Congress, and get mental help for his horrendous behavior, which has included other accusations with other women and with law enforcement in the past, and the reaction has been fierce by both sides.

But also, Moreno himself showed lack of dignity by using foul language in the committee hearing that attacked Dr. Anthony Fauci for his handling of the COVID 19 Pandemic response, when Fauci was heroic in his actions and advice, having to navigate the lunacy and craziness of Donald Trump regarding that epidemic in 2020.

This, along with the candidacy of Tech Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as the Republican nominee for Governor, despite his controversial outspokenness and extremist views, puts the state of Ohio in the forefront of controversy that undermines the state’s reputation.

It is hoped that Democrat Amy Acton, a physician, public health leader, and nominee for Governor, can succeed in turning Ohio in a different direction, but Ohio has become very “RED”, after years of being a “swing state” historically.

Acton was seen as a “hero”, much like Dr. Anthony Fauci, in the early period of the COVID 19 Pandemic, but later faced vilification, much like the renowned Fauci, with both being totally correct in their reactions to the epidemic, but suffering from scientific ignorance by their critics.
