Voters to Decide Ohio Governor’s Race After Vivek Ramaswamy Ran ad Featuring Amy Acton’s Mother
The 60-second spot drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats after it accused Acton of lying about her past.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Ohio voters are choosing between Republican Vivek Ramaswamy and Democrat Amy Acton to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.
- Candidates and their allies spent more than $200 million to define their opponents, making this one of the nation's most expensive races. Personal attacks marked the campaign, including ads resurfacing a 2019 domestic dispute.
- Ramaswamy advanced GOP-backed policies, including a 90-day gas tax suspension and new voter ID requirements. Acton has focused on advocating for working families, promising tax cuts to address rising costs.
- President Donald Trump endorsed Ramaswamy, who cleared the GOP field early, while former President Barack Obama campaigned for Acton. The election is a critical test for the party hoping to flip the governor's office.
- Polls remain open until 7:30 p.m. on November 3 for in-person voting, with final results expected shortly after polls close. The winner will be sworn in this year and face reelection in the next gubernatorial cycle.
