Youngstown, Ohio (Wkbn) – Former congressor Tim Ryan is still considering a run for the governor of Ohio, but according to a spokesman he needs “a few additional days” to make his decision.
Dennis Willard, a spokesman for Tim Ryan, published a statement to Nexstars WKBN on Tuesday that he is the best candidate to beat Republican candidates Vivek Ramaswamy:
“Tim Ryan looks at the enormous way this choice will affect our large state. He will need a few more days to make his decision. Tim believes that he is the strongest candidate who defeats Vivek. He is thrilled what he could bring together as a governor to bring all Ohioan together and will soon have a decision,” says the statement.
Ryan represented the Youngstown area in the US representative house for 20 years. He currently lives in the Columbus region and is a consultant for various companies.
