Casey Putsch, who opposes Ramaswamy on the May 5 ballot, posted a video of his final pre-primary speech online on May 4.

In the video, Putsch says, “My soul is burning, and I’m mad. I’m really mad” over political and economic conditions in Ohio and America.

One of his key campaign messages, listed on a candidate questionnaire on Ballotpedia.org, says: “Ohio is suffering under a corrupt, out of touch political establishment that is selling out the state to mass immigration, data center special interests, and more. Casey Putsch is the America First alternative, running to Save Ohio with the support of everyday people like you.”

The video shows Putsch riding in a helicopter that circled sites in the Columbus area, followed by his speech before a bipartisan group called America First United.

In the speech, Putsch asserted that his grassroots campaign is “putting a massive dent in the campaign of the entire establishment, backed by the White House.”

Polling in April from Bowling Green State University showed, however, that 76 percent of likely voters expressed support for Ramaswamy, while Putsch was drawing 12 percent of the vote.

Fellow Republican Heather Hill also attracted 12 percent support in that poll. However, her running mate, Stuart Moats, resigned amid a dispute between the two of them, invalidating all ballots cast for the Hill/Moats ticket, the Ohio Secretary of State said.

Meanwhile, the uncontested Democratic gubernatorial candidate met on Columbus’ east side with campaign volunteers who were heading out to knock on residents’ doors for her.

Acton, in brief remarks to about two dozen people, said they likely would notice what she has detected during her campaign—voters are “exhausted by the hate and the chaos and the vitriol.”

“They are longing for something that feels lost. They are longing for public servants, again, who actually solve problems,” she said.

Acton said she would fill that bill.

Acton’s platform includes several health-related proposals, drawing on her medical background.

The Epoch Times asked Acton which of those are her top priorities.

Acton replied that, if elected, she would immediately oppose “a massive effort to try to kick people off of health insurance, people who, quite frankly, are already working.”

Secondly, she said, “We’re working on alleviating medical debt.”

Ramaswamy has stated that her proposed medical-debt-relief plan would cost taxpayers many billions of dollars—an assertion Acton disputes.
