With Acton now officially in the race, Ohio’s 2026 gubernatorial election has become even more unpredictable. While Acton’s progressive platform appeals to a significant portion of the electorate, she will have to contend with formidable opponents on both sides of the political spectrum.
Republicans, led by candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy and Governor Mike DeWine’s potential successor, will likely challenge her with their own visions for Ohio’s future. On the other hand, Democratic candidates will also be looking to capitalize on the divisions within the Republican Party to win over voters who may be skeptical of Acton’s unorthodox running mate choice.
The 2026 Ohio gubernatorial election is shaping up to be a race for the history books. With Jenny Acton’s candidacy and her surprise running mate, Ohioans are faced with a decision that will likely shape the state’s future for years to come. As the campaign heats up, Acton’s platform will undoubtedly be scrutinized, her running mate’s influence will continue to be a point of contention, and the battle for Ohio’s future will be one of the most closely watched contests in the nation.
Ohio’s political landscape is shifting, and the question remains: will Jenny Acton and her unexpected running mate be able to capitalize on this change? Only time will tell.

He wanted to “transform personal mementos into hope for families most in need.”
A source close to Rice revealed: “This isn’t about ‘clearing space’ or money.
