Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “Here he goes again – saying one thing and doing the other. Tim Ryan says we now need to fix all of these problems he helped create, but why did he vote to create them in the first place? Ohioans can’t trust phony career politician Tim Ryan to do the right thing when it matters the most.”
