Today, I received a voicemail from @amyactonoh.bsky.social thanking me for a couple of small dollar donations. The fact that she is responsive to an “average” voter like me, shows we have a candidate for governor who is truly looking to make things better for the people, not just showboat around.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs.

RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat?

Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.

I’ll be voting for someone who doesn’t play dress up and is actually talking about the issues.

Voting for the friend of the working man and woman @amyactonoh.bsky.social! Dr. Acton is out walking with labor while Vivek goes to a far right lobbying group.

This is what good leaders do!!! @amyactonoh.bsky.social and @bryanhambley.bsky.social we need you both in our government! Your actions speak volumes about how you’d treat all Ohioans!

Doctors Amy Acton and Bryan Hambley quickly attended to an elderly woman who fell and was gushing blood at the Morrow County Democratic Party annual dinner.

The woman is okay!

You cannot make this up. While I have been traveling across Ohio in a car (a Jeep made by @uaw.org members, I’ll add) like a normal person... (1/2)

Hopefully @amyactonoh.bsky.social makes this a line of attack in ‘26.

Since Ohio delivered $600 million to the Browns, we've learned the Haslams:

- Sold 10 percent of the Crew for $90 million
- Closed on a $25 million mansion in North Palm Beach, Florida
- Donated six- to seven-figures to defeat Boston's progressive mayor with a 61% approval rating

Criminal.

The Rooster @rooster.info · Jul 14

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and his co-conspirator “Sweet Dee,” both of whom, in my opinion, should be in federal prison, are spending hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to defeat progressive Boston mayor Michelle Wu.

Only one candidate cares about students, schools, and teachers in the 2026 Ohio Gubernatorial election. That’s Dr. Acton!

Dr. Amy Acton @amyactonoh.bsky.social · Jul 2

Among the many things wrong with the state budget are the continued attacks on public education, teachers and retirees. Just a travesty, and something I will stand up to as Governor.

Ohioan here. This is a discriminatory, wealthy-people-forward budget made by lawmakers who are happy to sacrifice children to satisfy demands of donors. Ohioans must call Gov Dewine to oppose, before he signs on June 30. (614) 466-3555 #MeanwhileInOhio #Resist

Money for the Billionaire owners of the Browns, flat tax for those making 100k, less money for students and libraries.

But Republicans say that money going to the top will be “reinvested” to the folks below.

If you believe that…

State Rep. Michele Grim @michelegrim.bsky.social · Jun 26

Today I and every other Democrat in the Ohio General Assembly voted No on the Republicans’ obscene state budget.

We need a Churchillian like “Grand Alliance” to get us out of this mess. Thank you @walshfreedom.bsky.social

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · Jun 23

Had a conversation with a podcast listener. He thanked me for becoming a Democrat 3 weeks ago. He & I disagree on plenty of policy, but he said the ONLY thing that matters to him now is defending democracy & the rule of law. That’s it. He hoped my move encouraged others to do the same. My hope too.

A real president going to the birthplace of Juneteenth and celebrating the history of our country instead of honoring himself like someone else. And yes, this was this year’s #Juneteenth

If we want a stronger Ohio tomorrow, we have to invest in our children today. That starts with supporting our teachers, investing in our schools, and giving every child a chance to succeed.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past
