Ramaswamy Campaign Deploys Ad Featuring Acton’s Estranged Mother
A new Republican attack ad in the Ohio gubernatorial race features Donna Arthur, the estranged mother of Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton, calling her a liar. The ad, which began circulating on social media on Monday, October 19, 2026, has intensified an already contentious campaign. Acton’s brother, Philip Stearns, condemned the move as a 'despicable low,' while Republicans hailed it as a significant blow to the Democratic candidate.
