US EditionTim Ryan won’t run for Ohio governor next year
Tim Ryan cited family, endorsements for Amy Acton, and political challenges in withdrawing; Acton now the sole major Democrat facing GOP frontrunner Vivek Ramaswamy.
- On Friday, Tim Ryan, former U.S. representative, announced he will not run for governor in the 2026 race, ending weeks of speculation after a period of silence.
- After initially saying last year he wouldn't run, Tim Ryan said in a September interview with 10TV's Doug Petcash he was unsure but openly explored a run in recent months, motivated by ex-U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.
- Democrats called Ryan's exit a boost for Amy Acton, and the Ohio Democratic Party said it is energized and ready to elect Acton, who will focus on Vivek Ramaswamy and the economy.
- Republicans had hoped a Ryan–Acton fight would weaken Democrats, Ryan lost to now-Vice President JD Vance by six points, and with the candidate filing deadline not until next February only Jacob Chiara has filed besides Acton.
