A Record-Breaking Night in Ohio

Onto November

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Tuesday truly was a historic night as Amy and I became the official Democratic nominees for Governor and Lt. Governor of Ohio.

But it wasn’t just that it happened. It’s how it happened. Here are some eye-popping numbers showing how much energy there is building in Ohio to elect Amy governor:

Even without a contested primary, the Ohio primary saw the highest midterm Ohio Democratic primary turnout since 2006;

Despite spending $20M+, turnout slumped for Vivek Ramaswamy versus recent GOP primaries;

Perhaps most dramatic: with 762,457 votes, Amy earned more votes in a Democratic primary than any Ohio Democratic Governor candidate—incumbent or not, contested or uncontested—on record.

Here’s an analysis from conservative Ohio commentator Matt Mayer:

“On Tuesday, top Democrats improved on [their 2022] number by 250,000 votes while Republicans declined by roughly 250,000. That is a 500,000 vote swing that can’t be ignored. Given his massive money advantage and his Trump endorsement, Ramaswamy’s crushing victory over Casey Putsch was a foregone conclusion. The only thing I cared about was his and the Republican vote totals. Ramaswamy secured 673,902 votes to Acton’s 762,457 votes. The fact that (a) Acton outvoted Ramaswamy and that (b) Putsch, who lacked any money to get out his message, pulled in nearly 18% of the vote should concern you. Both results show a lack of Republican excitement in Ramaswamy.”
