U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan says he is seriously interested in running next year for the U.S. Senate, but his latest campaign finance report shows he has less than $20,000 in his federal account.
Two Republicans U.S. Reps. Bill Johnson and Dave Joyce who are also considering Senate bids have considerably more money in their campaign coffers.
The year-end report, which encompasses Nov. 24 to Dec. 31, shows Ryan, D-Howland, entered the period with $26,785.82. After raising $45,125.60 and spending $52,724.44, he had $19,186.98 left in his account as of Dec. 31.
A Senate candidate in next year’s race in Ohio needs to raise at least $15 million to be competitive.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown introduced legislation to create a federal fund to provide direct assistance to cities, townships, villages and counties dealing with financial issues because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Over and over, I hear the same thing from communities large and small, rural and urban: They need more resources from the federal government,” Brown, D-Cleveland, said Wednesday. “I’m hopeful that with a new administration and a new Congress, we’re finally going to be able to provide all Ohio communities with the help they need.”
Asked about the 60 votes needed to defeat a filibuster in the Senate on his proposal, Brown pointed to the tax cut approved Dec. 20, 2017, by Republicans 51-48 that was done under budget reconciliation. That process allows the Senate to approve certain budgetary legislation on spending, revenue and the debt limit without needing 60 votes.
