NE Ohio Rep. @TimRyan entered the Buckeye State& #39;s 2022 U.S. Senate race yesterday, becoming the first Democrat to join.
We spoke shortly after he launched his campaign.
Here& #39;s a thread of extended clips from our conversation
As he begins his #OHSen bid, @TimRyan told me his campaign platform is focused on improving workers& #39; lives.
“We want to make sure that they get representation in the United States Senate, someone that& #39;s going to fight like hell to cut them in on the deal.”

Having been in Congress for 18 years, what does @TimRyan say to Ohioans who don& #39;t want to promote a career politician?
“They& #39;re going to want somebody in the Senate who knows how to get things done, and I& #39;ve got a long record of getting things done," he argues. #OHSen

Since Sen. @SherrodBrown is the only Democrat elected statewide in Ohio, will @TimRyan style his #OHSen bid after him?
“Sherrod Brown has been fighting for workers his whole career. And so have I…[we] have very similar views and voting records. And we& #39;re very aligned..."

What is @TimRyan& #39;s message to Ohio Dems skeptical of elevating another white man?
“I fought my whole career to increase diversity and representation…all I can say is, look, I& #39;m going to work my rear end off for workers, whether they& #39;re white or Black or male or female.” #OHSen

As @TimRyan& #39;s district, #OH13, has gotten more conservative, what has he learned about outreach as a Dem?
“You focus on the workers…you focus on their struggles, that they& #39;ve been doing everything right. They show up at work, they do their job, and they still can& #39;t get ahead.”

Back in Oct., @TimRyan told me he wasn& #39;t interested in running for #OHSen or #OHGov.
What changed? Was @senrobportman& #39;s surprise retirement the main draw?
Ryan said the Senate is at a "crossroads."
“If we don& #39;t get the right people in office now, we& #39;re going to go backwards."
