Candidate for governor Amy Acton (D-OH) visited a small business in Columbus, Ohio. She toured B&K Smoke House and spoke with James Howell on the hardships of owning a small business, such as supply chain management and the cost of fuel. She later sat down with other small business owners to discuss the state of small business and affordability in Ohio. Acton faces Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the race for Ohio governor. The Cook Political Report and Inside Elections both rate the race a "Toss Up."
