Ohio Democrat Running for Governor Poses as Moderate Despite Overseeing Millions in Grants to Radical Left-Wing Groups

While Democrat Amy Acton served as a grants manager at the Columbus Foundation, records show the foundation administered millions of dollars in 2017 and 2018 to organizations involved in abortion services, civil liberties litigation, immigration and refugee services, diversity initiatives, climate activism, and Muslim advocacy.
Acton, who is running against Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in Ohio, worked for less than two years as grants manager at the Columbus Foundation, a major 501(c)(3) charitable organization that administers donor funds and distributes grants.
In 2017, the Columbus Foundation administered $272,666 in grants to Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio, a nonprofit that provides abortions. In 2018, the foundation administered another $243,951 to the same organization.
The foundation also administered $77,915 in grants to the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio in 2017 and $1,000,000 in 2018. The national ACLU says, “due process and equal protection” apply to every person “regardless of immigration status,” says it works “to strike at the roots of racial injustice,” “champions transgender people’s right to be themselves,” and describes Roe v. Wade as the case that secured “a woman’s right to abortion.”
