Acton Campaign Statement on Incident at Canfield Fair…Just After Her Rant Goes Viral

CANFIELD, OH– (9-6-26) The Ohioans for Amy Acton campaign released the following statement following an incident involving Dr. Acton at the Canfield Fair:

Addie Bullock, Communications Director for the Acton campaign.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people. Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured. This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another.”

Connie Luck, Ramaswamy’s campaign communications director

“Candidates should be able to meet with voters without having to worry about threats or violence. What happened today is completely unacceptable and has no place in politics, and we hope hope that no one was hurt.”

Why did law enforcement sit Amy Acton’s (@amyactonoh) “attacker” on a bench near children after the incident?
