Vivek Ramaswamy and the Ohio Republican Party spent this week saying Dr. Amy Acton doesn't show up for Ohioans. Here's Brook Park, Ohio, in the Greater Cleveland area this morning.
UAW Local 1250 on a Sunday, standing room along the back, and a room that filled before she got to the podium.
Her message was about working for all Ohioans and not just the ones who vote for her. She spent real time on healthcare, which is the subject she knows better than anyone else in this race.
Ramaswamy's super PAC has raised $41.7 million, and $37 million of it came from 5 people. That's 88 cents of every dollar. Not one of those 5 lists an Ohio address. Jeff Yass put in $20 million. Ross Stevens $6 million. Ratmir Timashev $5 million. Elon Musk $5 million. Bill Ackman $1 million.
They spent $8.2 million attacking her in June alone, including a single check for $7,963,282 to a media firm on June 5th.
One campaign filled a union hall in Brook Park. The other one relies mainly on 5 donors who don't even live here.
Ramaswamy's biotech company is collecting $950 million from Moderna for the same COVID vaccine technology his party is calling a hoax.
Burning River Brigade showed up because we'd rather have a governor who spent her career on public health than a guy who's being rented by 5 men from out of state. Her message today about stopping the rampant fraud in our state government landed with us, since accountability is the whole reason our group exists.
We prefer her platform not only on healthcare, but on data centers, unions, and your utility bill.
Make a plan for November. Choose carefully, and vote. A third party vote is a throwaway vote.
The next governor appoints all 5 members of the Public Utilities Commission, runs the state health department, and decides what Ohio does when Washington comes calling. That's the job. One of these two would do it with $37 million from 5 men who don't live here.
