What happened
Amy Acton announced a three-year moratorium on permitting new injection wells for fracking in rural Washington County. Acton stated the measure was necessary to protect groundwater, noting that cleanup costs could exceed $1 billion. During the announcement, Acton was joined by Susan Vessels, a local Republican who supports Acton.
Why it matters
The announcement is part of Amy Acton's campaign strategy to appeal to conservative voters in the Republican-leaning state of Ohio. This policy position is occurring as Vivek Ramaswamy's odds of winning the gubernatorial race against Acton have recently dipped. Donald Trump has previously backed Vivek Ramaswamy in the race.
