57. Tim Ryan has been a US Congressman representing Ohio since 2003 -- 14 years.

The 17th district he formerly represented was made obsolete following the 2010 census and redistricting.
I like Tim Ryan; he is articulate and represents Ohio's Dems very well.
He has a future in national politics.
I am not happy that he would demean Nancy Pelosi in any way; Ms. Pelosi has served and continues to serve the people of the US and the Democratic party in a most outstanding way.
