Six Years Ago, Amy Acton Shut Down Ohio

Schools, businesses, and livelihoods — shuttered. Ohioans haven't forgotten.

Six years ago, Amy Acton shut down Ohio — shuttering the doors of schools, bars, restaurants, gyms, theaters, playgrounds, hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, museums, libraries, fitness centers, retail stores, local shops, and small businesses across the state.

She deemed her allies "essential" and left Ohio families and small business owners to fend for themselves. The devastation was real — and Ohioans haven't forgotten.

Amy Acton shut down:

Schools & Playgrounds — Kids locked out of classrooms and off the playground while families scrambled.

Small Businesses — Restaurants, bars, shops, salons, and gyms forced to close their doors — many for good.

Ohio's Way of Life — Theaters, museums, libraries, and fitness centers shuttered while her allies got a pass.

Ohio deserves leaders who stand with families and small businesses — not bureaucrats who shut them down. Share this with every Ohioan who remembers.

Stand With Ohio

Never forget. Never again. Share the truth.
