A new attack ad from Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign features a woman the Acton campaign identifies as Amy Acton’s estranged mother.
In the ad, the woman says, “it’s not easy for a mother to say this, but Amy has a serious problem.”
Ohio governor’s race in uproar over ad featuring Democrat’s estranged mother
Amy Acton was removed from her mother’s home when she was 12 after her stepfather was indicted on a charge of raping her.

Ramaswamy’s campaign, in a statement from spokeswoman Connie Luck, echoed the claims in the video: “We don’t know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor.”
Meanwhile, Acton’s campaign provided extensive documentation, from court records and contemporary reports in local media , that corroborated her account that she and her brother were removed from their mother’s home after her second husband, Cledith Arthur, was arrested and indicted in 1978 and charged with rape of “Amy Stearns being less than thirteen (13) years of age.”
The arrest came after Acton’s biological father, Gerald Stearns, made a report to police.
Law enforcement lost track of Cledith Arthur after he moved, though there were multiple warrants issued to bring him in.
According to both Acton and her mother, they have not been in contact since she and her brother were removed from the Arthurs’ home. In the courtroom after her stepfather was charged, Acton approached her mother “to give her a kiss, and she just turned her cheek away. That was the last time I ever saw her,” Acton told the Vindicator, a Youngstown newspaper, in 2019.
