Former Ohio Health Director Amy Acton considers run for governor
CHICAGO — While most of the focus is on the presidential race, some Ohioans are already looking at the governor race in 2026, and Dr. Amy Acton is putting her name in the mix. The former director of the Ohio Department of Health confirmed her consideration for the race on Tuesday at the Ohio delegate breakfast during the Democratic National Convention, making her the first to announce her consideration from the state’s Democratic Party. “I’m considering it,” Dr. Acton said. “Right now, we’re focused on Sherrod Brown and the Supreme Court candidates. I’m doing a lot up and down the ticket ... but it’s something I’ve been considering over the past few years.” During her time as health director, she worked closely with Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on the opioid crisis and helped the state through the coronavirus pandemic. She resigned from her role in 2020. She was also a possible contender for Ohio’s U.S. Senate seat in 2022, but she decided not to run. Dr. Acton said working with Mr. DeWine inspired her interest for the governor race.
