context_page_description: Timothy John Ryan is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 13th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he first entered Congress in 2003, representing Ohio's 17th congressional district until redistricting. Ryan's district currently takes in a large swath of the state's northeastern part, from Youngstown to Akron.
  Born in Niles, Ryan worked as an aide to U.S. Representative Jim Traficant after graduating from Bowling Green State University. He served in the Ohio Senate from 2001 to 2002 before winning the election to succeed Traficant. In November 2016, Ryan launched an unsuccessful challenge to unseat Nancy Pelosi as party leader of the House Democrats. He was a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination before ending his campaign on October 24, 2019, to run for reelection.
context_section_description: After the 2018 midterms, Ryan was seen as a possible candidate for the 2020 presidential election. In February and March 2019, he traveled to early primary states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. Ryan's 2020 presidential campaign officially began on April 4, 2019, when he stated that he would run in the Democratic primaries.  He also announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for president during an interview on The View. After qualifying for only two debates and continuously polling below one per cent nationwide, Ryan formally withdrew from the race on October 24, 2019. Ryan intends to seek re-election for his seat in the House of Representatives.
