Amy Acton, former Ohio Department of Health director and medical doctor, is campaigning for governor in 2024. She gained prominence for her leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, notably advising Gov. DeWine on early decisions to close schools and limit gatherings. Her experiences during the pandemic highlighted the need for collaborative problem-solving in areas like housing and senior care. Acton draws attention to challenges faced by women in agriculture, particularly regarding health care access and aging in place, as she shapes her campaign around these pressing issues.
These women were saying their biggest issues were health care, if somebody has to work a second job off the farm to get health insurance.
It takes multiple systems working together to work on housing or work on aging in place, or work on childcare issues.
