Ohioans for Lower Costs Releases First Ads in Ohio Governor’s Race

Today, Ohioans for Lower Costs, a group backed by the Democratic Governors Association, is releasing two ads in Ohio’s governor’s race. One ad, “Back Up,” highlights Dr. Amy Acton’s powerful personal story, her grit, and her commitment to helping hardworking Ohioans. The other, “Conman,” holds Vivek Ramaswamy accountable for spending his career ripping people off for his own personal gain.

A recent investigation revealed that Ramaswamy “served as the frontman for a dubious pharmaceutical company and then cashed out weeks before its dramatic crash.” While the drug in question “had repeatedly failed in clinical trials,” Ramaswamy hired his mother — who “appears to have never conducted a clinical trial” — to “massage data from old clinical trials to make the drug appear more promising.”

Conman, Huckster, Swindler. They all describe Vivek Ramaswamy.

In nearly every job he’s ever had, he’s ripped people off to make a buck. 

Backing a drug called garbage by a medical expert, selling stock in his company just before his drug failed a clinical trial. 

Even peddling a drug to Alzheimer’s patients that didn’t work. Walking away from it all a billionaire. 

Yes, Vivek Ramaswamy has been called a lot of things, but Governor should not be one of them.

“Back Up”:

Transcript:

Amy Acton grew up in Youngstown, not always knowing where her next meal would come from or if she’d have a roof over her head.

But life isn’t about getting knocked down. It’s about getting back up. 

So, she scraped, saved, and waitressed to put herself through med school and made a career out of helping people. 

As governor, she’ll take on the politicians and special interests robbing you blind just so they can make an extra buck. 

She’ll work for working people. 

Amy Acton for governor.
