🚨NEW: Dr. Amy Acton OUTRAISES Billionaire Ramaswamy Again

HUGE news! In the first campaign finance report following her historic primary victory, Amy’s campaign has raised just under $16 million to date – the most ever raised at this point in the calendar by a Democratic candidate for governor in the state’s history.

The campaign raised $5.36M total for the post-primary reporting period, while billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy raised $4.58 million.

This marks the second straight filing where Acton outraised Ramaswamy, forcing him to personally loan his campaign $25M. Outside of that loan, the Acton campaign has outraised Ramaswamy by nearly $2 million since the beginning of 2026, with Acton raising $11.5M to Ramaswamy’s $9.6M.

The campaign received more than 87,000 individual donations during this reporting period, with more than 282,000 donations total. More than 95% of contributions were $100 or less, with an average grassroots donation of just $24.

“These record breaking numbers, along with a historic primary vote count, show that Amy Acton’s people-driven campaign has the clear momentum in this race,” said Campaign Manager Philip Stein. “Ohioans know that Amy is the only candidate who will fight to lower costs, tackle corruption and build an Ohio where all of us can get ahead.”

“Republican entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy quickly jumped out to a massive fundraising lead last year after launching his campaign. But Dr. Amy Acton, the Democratic former state health department director, has outraised Ramaswamy in 2026.”

“Including numbers from last week’s report, Acton has raised nearly $11.5 million in 2026, while Ramaswamy has raised $9.6 million. Ramaswamy still has much more cash available, though – he reported a $26.8 million balance compared to Acton’s $8.1 million. The difference is thanks to $25 million Ramaswamy personally loaned his campaign last year.”

“In total, Acton’s fundraising has improved as Democrats have felt better about her chances of winning in November. Ramaswamy’s fundraising has slowed down comparatively.”

“His spending may have helped reinforce his victory margin in the primary – but it also has started showing up in polling. A June 3 poll by Fox News found 45% of voters viewed Ramaswamy favorably, while 44% viewed him unfavorably. Compare that to April, when a Bowling Green State University poll found only 32% of voters viewed him favorably, compared to 40% unfavorable.”
