The Ohio Capital Journal reported Oct. 28 that Acton's pre-general report shows $3.9 million raised in its two-week window and $26.2 million spent since summer, because Ohio's summer reports list money raised but not money spent. Ohio campaigns were due to file pre-general reports on October 22, covering activity through October 14, 2026. They are not in these figures, which come from the latest report in our records, dated September 3, 2026.

The Energy and Policy Institute reported $10,000. The DGA's Ohio group, Ohioans for Lower Costs, backs Acton; see the DGA entry.

• Democratic Governors Association (Ohioans for Lower Costs; DGA Action) · $9,400,000 reported, not filed

  Reported, not filed: Signal Ohio reported on August 27, 2026 that the DGA had $9.4 million in pro-Acton ads set to begin after Labor Day, and WVXU reported June 15, 2026 that the DGA's committee had bought TV time from September 8 through Election Day. Filed so far: Ohioans for Lower Costs is registered with the Ohio Secretary of State as PAC OH1993 (Columbus mailing address; treasurer filed as Andrew Whalen). Its post-primary report (filed June 10, 2026) shows no activity, and its July 2026 semiannual report shows one contribution, $1,000,000 from the IBEW PAC Educational Fund on 06/16/2026, no expenditures and $1,000,000 on hand at June 30. The IBEW fund's own IRS Form 8872 for April to June 2026 shows it paid the DGA $1,000,000 on 05/20/2026, received $1,000,000 from the DGA on 06/10/2026 and paid Ohioans for Lower Costs $1,000,000 the same day (paid June 10 per the IBEW fund's 8872; received June 16 per Ohioans for Lower Costs' Ohio report); the DGA's own Form 8872 for the quarter shows neither $1,000,000 transaction. Separately, DGA Action, the DGA's super PAC, gave the Ohio Democratic Party $250,000 on 06/18/2026. No DGA payment to any Ohio committee appears on the DGA's IRS filings through June 30, 2026; its July to September report is not yet due. The amount field carries the reported $9.4 million reservation.
