Ramaswamy and Acton Hold Opposite Campaign Events in Ohio as Election Nears
On Oct. 14, Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke at the Columbus Metropolitan Club, outlining his vision for the Ohio governor’s office, including a property‑tax reduction, opposition to two citizen‑initiated ballot proposals, and continued support for the death penalty. The same day, Democrat Amy Acton hosted a gathering at WOSU Public Media’s Sandy and Andy Ross Community Studio that was not open to reporters, a choice that drew criticism from Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou and local journalists. Both events underscore the contrasting campaign approaches as the race heads toward the November 3 election.
