Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial campaign took a hit from critics on Tuesday, after an ad featuring his rival’s mother denouncing her daughter circulated in the Ohio race.
In the ad, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s mother, Donna Arthur, tells viewers not to vote for her daughter. Arthur identified herself as someone who had worked with the “Children and Family Service Association to build one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America,” and described her daughter, Acton, as someone who “has lied her entire life.” It is unclear who or what organization circulated the roughly 60-second ad spot, which hit just two weeks before voters head to the polls to pick their next governor in the competitive race.
