Tim Ryan has failed Ohio. He doesn’t deserve a promotion after failing in the House for 20 years. These are facts Ryan can’t run from in tonight’s debate:
- Manufacturing: The Mahoning Valley has lost 24,900 manufacturing jobs since Ryan took office.
- Overdoses: From 2005 to 2020, overdoses in Mahoning County have increased 350%, in Trumbull County by 330%, and in Portage County by 400%.
- Household Income: Household income has severely lagged behind the rest of Ohio while Ryan has been in office.
- Poverty: From 2001 to 2020, poverty increased in Mahoning County, Trumbull County, and Portage County.
- Population: From 2000 to 2020, the population of both Mahoning County and Trumbull County shrank.
Now Ryan wants to head to the Senate to, in his words, “suck up” to his “future boss” Chuck Schumer. Ryan says “we need new leadership.” Ohio will start by firing him.
