Amy Acton Calls Campaign ad Featuring Estranged Mother ‘Horrible’
Ramaswamy’s campaign says it will spend $4 million more on the spot despite criticism from Republicans and Democrats.
- On Monday, Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy released an attack ad featuring Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's estranged mother, Donna Arthur, who calls her daughter "a liar."
- While Arthur claims Acton lied about her upbringing, public records show Acton's stepfather was charged with sexually abusing her, leading to custody loss when Acton was 12.
- Defending the ad, Ramaswamy's campaign promised to spend an additional $4 million to promote it, and Ramaswamy has refused to apologize, stating the dispute is "between Amy Acton and her mother."
- Republican Nikki Haley of South Carolina wrote "it's a shame" amid mounting bipartisan criticism, while Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose confirmed his office is investigating complaints regarding the ad.
- With less than two weeks until election day, the Acton campaign is pushing back by releasing a new advertisement featuring her brother, Phil Stearns, who describes their difficult childhood.
