The United Auto Workers today announced the union’s endorsement of Dr. Amy Acton for Governor of Ohio, citing her commitment to standing up to corporate greed and fighting for the working class.
“UAW CAP councils across Ohio are proud to endorse Dr. Amy Acton for Governor. Ohioans don’t need another corrupt politician backed by billionaires—we’ve seen too many leaders who are afraid to pick a side. Dr. Acton will shake up the status quo, put working-class people first, and stand with the UAW in our fight for a better life. Her campaign is rooted in issues that matter to our members: making life more affordable for working people and ensuring every Ohioan has access to quality healthcare. We’re ready to get to work to elect a pro-union governor. Now is our time, and Ohioans deserve better,” said UAW Region 2B Director Dave Green.
The UAW represents tens of thousands of active and retired members across Ohio in the auto, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. The union noted Dr. Acton’s union roots and her dedication to fighting for blue-collar communities too often left behind.
“I’m deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the United Auto Workers. This storied union has been one of the key institutions that built America’s and Ohio’s middle class. I’ve stood on the picket line with members of UAW and will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them to fight for good Ohio jobs—including fair wages, safe workplaces, and strong benefits,” stated Dr. Acton.
The UAW will mobilize thousands of members across the state ahead of the election to help deliver a victory for Ohio’s working class.
