Amy Acton's COVID record hangs over Ohio governor's race

CLEVELAND — Ohio Democratic gubernatorial nominee Amy Acton’s past is coming back to haunt her this October in more ways than one.

Last week, with days before the Nov. 3 midterm elections, Acton’s race against Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy was upended by an ad from her opponent. The spot included a direct-to-camera appeal from her mother, with whom she has been estranged since she was 12 years old, after facing sexual abuse by her criminally convicted stepfather.
