Dear Editor,

The Ohio US Senate seat requires an experienced seasoned person who can reach across the aisle, bring jobs, funding and meet the needs of all Ohio’s people.

Tim Ryan has the heart of a public servant. He chose a career path to make a difference in lives of all people. He surrounds himself with highly talented resource staff. He can and will represent Ohio on key governmental committees of importance to his constituents. He will take care of all Ohioans the way Howard Metzenbaum and John Glenn did.

In 2010, Congressman Ryan testified before the House Ways and Means Committee exposing how China was impacting the steel industry by manipulating currency in dumping foreign steel. His transparent record is available online. Ohioan’s have much to lose if we become represented by a book author with notoriety who does not understand legislative process.

If you needed brain surgery, you would turn to the most experienced neurosurgeon with a career of proven outcomes. You wouldn’t want a person who wrote a book but never performed brain surgery. Nor would you ask a neurosurgeon their political affiliation. You would require success. Ohio needs Tim Ryan for US Senator.
