Story summary

On November 3, 2026, Democrat Amy Acton defeated Republican Vivek Ramaswamy to become the next governor of Ohio, ending a 20-year Republican streak. Acton, who previously led Ohio's Department of Health during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, received over 51% of the votes. The race was marred by controversy after Ramaswamy’s campaign released an attack ad that drew national criticism and backfired. Acton campaigned on lowering costs and promised various tax credits and property tax relief for seniors and middle-income homeowners. This victory marks a significant shift in Ohio politics, making her the first woman to hold the governor's office.
