WASHINGTON — Following tonight’s Democratic primary in Ohio, Kevin Holst, Executive Director of the Democratic Lt. Governors Association (DLGA), released the following statement endorsing David Pepper for Lt. Governor of Ohio:
“Congratulations to Dr. Amy Acton and David Pepper on their victory in tonight’s Ohio primary. Working Ohioans can count on David to be a tireless advocate as Lt. Governor, working alongside Amy to lower costs for working families, defend access to health care, fix our public schools, and fight back against corruption in Ohio’s statehouse. Few people have fought harder for Ohio than David. Having served as a Cincinnati City Council member and Hamilton County Commissioner, he’s ready to deliver real results for the state.
“Ohio voters this November will face a clear choice between Amy and David, who have spent their careers delivering for working families and defending democracy, and Vivek Ramaswamy and Rob McColley, who are pushing a dangerous agenda that would raise costs and put the wants of billionaires and special interests over the needs of working families. With Amy Acton as their nominee for Governor and David Pepper as their nominee for Lt. Governor, Ohio Democrats have a clear path to victory in November, and the DLGA looks forward to supporting their campaign in the months ahead.”
