(COLUMBUS) – U.S. House Representative Tim Ryan has become the first Democrat to launch a bid for Rob Portman’s U.S. Senate. The announcement came Monday morning.
The Youngstown area resident officially announced his campaign after several months of speculation that he would seen the Ohio U.S. Senate seat to Republican Rob Portman, who is not seeking re-election. He is the first Democrat to officially announce his bid for the seat.
“I am running to fight like hell in the U.S Senate to cut workers in on the deal,” Ryan said in a release Monday. “Ohioans are working harder than ever, they’re doing everything right, and they’re still falling behind.”
Ryan had an unsuccessful bid in 2016 to unseat Nancy Pelosi as the Democrat minority leader in the U.S. House.
