The facts
PolitiFact rated the claim False. It rests on a rival campaign estimate that Acton's plans would cost over $21 billion a year, compared with about $11 billion Ohio collected in individual income tax in fiscal 2025. That estimate includes costs such as universal childcare that Acton has not proposed, and her campaign said she would not raise income taxes.
