Columbus, Ohio — June 12, 2026
COLUMBUS, OHIO — With Ohio’s fair season opening this past weekend at the Paulding County Fair, the Ohio Republican Party today announced a statewide, summer-long effort to remind Ohioans that Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton quit her job rather than sign the order to let Ohio’s county fairs reopen. In her own recorded words, Acton has called the order to reopen the fairs “the final straw” that led to her resignation.
“And this one order in particular was the final straw for me. It was to open the fairs.” — Amy Acton
Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou had this to say about the effort:
“Amy Acton quit on Ohio rather than let families go to the county fair, and she has never had to answer for it. This summer, she will. From Paulding County to the Ohio State Fair, our team and Republican leaders in every corner of the state will be at the fairs Amy Acton tried to shut down. We will remind voters that when Republicans fought back against her wanting to shut down the fairs, she quit.” — Chairman Alex Triantafilou, Ohio Republican Party
Over the next twelve weeks, the Ohio Republican Party will be on the ground in all 88 counties. At every fair, Team Vivek will have a life-size cutout of Amy Acton and her shutdown of Ohio’s fairs, along with party volunteers handing out campaign literature.
Ohio’s agriculture leaders in the General Assembly backed the effort.
“County Fairs are important to Ohio. They are the connections between rural and urban Ohio. As an 8th generation farmer, my wife, Lisa and I met at the Fayette County Fair. They are where our kids and other 4-H and FFA families show a full year’s worth of work. Amy Acton was ready to take that away from every farm family in this state, and she quit when we fought back on her shutting down the fairs.” — State Representative Bob Peterson, Member, Ohio House Agriculture Committee
“Amy Acton did not just want to close our fairs. She told the families of rural Ohio that their way of life was hers to cancel. The fairgrounds are where generations have gathered, competed, and passed down what matters, and she walked off the job rather than let Ohioans go to the fair.” — State Senator Susan Manchester, Member, Ohio Senate Agriculture Committee
About the Program:
The Ohio Republican Party’s 2026 fair-season effort runs from the Paulding County Fair through the Ohio State Fair. Through life-size Acton cutouts at fairs across Ohio, on-the-ground presence from Republican leaders, and direct outreach to fairgoers, the program will keep one message in front of voters all summer: Amy Acton shut down our fairs.
