@japdmedia26: Ohio Governor-Elect Amy Acton Refuses to Speak With Vivek Ramaswamy After Columbus, Ohio — Democratic Governor-elect Amy Acton says she has "no intention" of speaking to Republican Vivek Ramaswamy after his campaign aired a controversial advertisement featuring her estranged mother. Acton made the statement during a November 6 interview on CBS Mornings, days after defeating Ramaswamy in Ohio's November 3 gubernatorial election. The advertisement featured Acton's mother accusing her of being a "liar" and questioning her account of her childhood. Acton and her brother have said they were separated from their mother after serious child-related harm involving their stepfather. Court records and historical news reports reviewed by FactCheck.org supported key parts of Acton's account. Ramaswamy said during his election-night concession speech that he had called Acton and left her a congratulatory message. However, she made clear she had no plans to return his call. Acton described the advertisement as "terrible and despicable" and said leaders must be held accountable for their words and actions. The advertisement triggered criticism from politicians in both parties, including Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Ramaswamy's campaign eventually stopped airing it following the backlash. Acton has also become the first woman elected governor of Ohio and the first Democrat to win the state's gubernatorial election in 20 years.
