@amyactonoh: Loved visiting the Youngstown Business Incubator and learning more about the entrepreneurs, small businesses, and innovators working to build the next generation of Ohio businesses. Youngstown has always been a place of hard work, resilience, and big ideas. As governor, I’ll fight to make sure communities like ours have the resources and opportunities to grow, create good-paying jobs, and thrive.
@chevytothe_levy: As @VivekGRamaswamy ducks press (again), Dr. Acton is answering every last question from the gaggle here at the Youngstown Business Incubator.
@amyactonoh: Loved visiting Simpy’s Playhouse and Learning Center in Cincinnati today! They’re doing wonderful work giving children a strong start and supporting local families. Every Ohio family deserves access to quality, affordable childcare.
