After weeks of consideration, Athens’ Democratic Mayor Steve Patterson decided not to run for Congress in the upcoming special election, citing uncertainty in the future Ohio’s solidly Republican 15th district after redistricting and reapportionment. He reached the decision following many conversations with Ohio politicos, people considering campaigns for the seat, and past 15th district candidates — including Rick Neal and Joel Newby, both Democrats who lost their respective 2018 and 2020 races by fairly wide margins against outgoing Republican Rep. Steve Stivers, who s stepping down May 16 for a top lobbying job. “It was an honor to really take a deep dive and consider it strongly,” Patterson, who’s served as Athens’ mayor since 2016, said in an interview. “That’s not to say I wouldn’t consider running in the future sometime for a higher office, but it’s just not in the cards this time around.”
