Amy Acton knows firsthand what it means to struggle. Raised in Youngstown, she experienced poverty and homelessness before overcoming those challenges to become a doctor, public health leader, and Director of the Ohio Department of Health. Because she has lived through the challenges many Ohio families face, she understands the real impact rising costs have on everyday people.

While too many politicians ignore the rising cost of living, Amy Acton is focused on lowering costs for Ohio families—from healthcare and prescription drugs to childcare, utilities, and groceries. She is fighting to ease the squeeze on working families so Ohioans can thrive, not just scrape by.
