Representative Tim Ryan, a little-known Democrat from Ohio, said
Thursday he’ll challenge Nancy Pelosi to lead a party that’s reeling
from a disappointing Election Day.
Ryan’s announcement that he’ll
run against Pelosi pits him against the only woman to ever serve as
House Speaker and comes after more than a half-dozen better-known
colleagues in recent years shied away from the challenge. He declared
his candidacy hours after she told reporters that she’d had support from
more than two-thirds of the House’s roughly 200 Democratic members.
Ryan,
43, was undeterred, saying that the Democratic Party’s disappointing
performance in last week’s election demanded new leadership.
“Over
the last 18 years, Democrats have only been in the majority of the
House of Representatives for two terms, and last week’s election results
set us back even further," said Ryan, of Youngstown. “We have lost over
60 seats since 2010. We have the fewest Democrats in state and federal
offices since Reconstruction. At this time of fear and disillusionment,
we owe it to our constituencies to listen and bring a new voice into
leadership.”

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
