With Amy Acton opting to not run for U.S. Senate, Rep. Tim Ryan essentially has a clear path to the Democratic Party’s nomination for the position next year.
There is still time for other Democrats to get into the race Ohio House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes, D-Akron, and Franklin County Commissioner Kevin Boyce, a former state treasurer, still are considering it.
But Ryan, D-Howland, has momentum and a nice haul of $1.2 million during the first quarter, even though he won’t officially declare his candidacy until later this month.
Avoiding a competitive primary that will cost his campaign money is something Ryan desperately needs because whoever ends up being the Republican nominee almost certainly will raise more money than he does. If Ryan doesn’t have to spend a few million dollars on a primary, he can use that toward his general election campaign.
It s the longest streak for either major party in Oregon history.
Republicans dominated statewide offices when Atiyeh was governor 40 years ago. They were led by Oregon s U.S. senators of that era â Mark Hatfield and Bob Packwood, each with five victories â but also the secretary of state, state treasurer and attorney general, even though Democrats controlled the Legislature.
Republicans have become a threatened species at the statewide level. Just two Republicans have been elected to statewide office in the past two decades.
Their ranks are shrinking further.

In those two decades, voters have elected Republicans statewide only twice.
One was Gordon Smith, who won a second term in the U.S. Senate in 2002 but lost six years later. He became president of the National Association of Broadcasters. He maintains a home in Pendleton, but has said he will not seek public office again.
The other was Dennis Richardson, a former state representative who lost to Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber in 2014, but was elected secretary of state two years later. Richardson died of cancer in 2019.
One of Richardson s early endorsers for governor in 2013 was Atiyeh, who knew about second chances. He was elected governor on his second try in 1978 (he lost four years earlier) and was re-elected in 1982.
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.
