@democracynow.org: A "despicable" campaign ad has rocked the Ohio governor's race, with Republican Vivek Ramaswamy widely denounced for recruiting the estranged mother of Democratic nominee Amy Acton to call her a liar. Acton's mother sided with her husband after he was accused of sexually abusing Acton between the ages of 10 and 12. https://www.democracynow.org/2026/10/23/ohio_election

There is no low to which these people will sink. WE must continue to speak out against policies, speech, and actions that are the antithesis of a humane and civilized society. I will also add that I respect Iowa Republican Senate candidate Rep. Ashley Hinson and GOP Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine for their condemnation of the adand their urging that Ramaswamy remove the ad. I want the media to corner every GOP candidate and elected official for their response to this "ad". I will be reaching out to those that represent my District.

Silence IS Violence 🤐 :

Mothers not believing their kids’ abuse by fathers and step fathers is all too common and part of systemic oppression. It happened in my family. Despicable ad by a despicable candidate. Whether Acton’s mother was paid to make the ad should also be investigated. AND Acton’s transphobia is harmful.
