Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton's campaign has paid over $1 million to FDM Connects LLC, a progressive direct-mail firm also used by controversial candidates Abdul El-Sayed and Graham Platner.
According to state campaign finance records, Acton's committee "Ohioans for Amy Acton and David Pepper" lists FDM Connects as one of its largest vendors. The firm's website features Acton alongside Tim Walz, Jon Ossoff, Adam Schiff, and Katie Hobbs.
Platner's campaign paid FDM Connects $626,988.29 across 12 disbursements between October 2025 and June 2026. His name has since been removed from the firm's client roster on their website.
Acton has positioned herself as a moderate Democrat during her gubernatorial run. The shared vendor relationship raises questions about her campaign's alignment with more progressive Democratic operations.
