Amy Acton wins Cleveland Plain Dealer endorsement in Ohio governor race

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has endorsed Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, the newspaper announced Sunday, according to The Hill.

Earlier this year, the newspaper had decided not to endorse candidates in Ohio's closely contested gubernatorial and Senate elections, making this endorsement a notable development.

The endorsement comes amid a heated campaign, with Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy producing a campaign ad that weaponizes sexual abuse, as reported by The Hill.

This endorsement could influence voters in Ohio's toss-up governor's race as the election approaches.
