Akron Beacon Journal endorses Tim Ryan

Beacon Journal

From their editorial:

If Ryan knows well the party talking points, a large part of his appeal is his capacity to think on his own. That has been evident in his handling of the abortion issue...Ryan has looked for common ground in finding ways to reduce the number of abortions

This newspaper has disagreed often with Ryan on trade matters. Yet even on this count, he has demonstrated a refreshing capacity to look forward rather than solely cling to an irretrievable past

The Republican in the race is Don Manning II, 39, the vice chairman of the Trumbull County Republican Party. He did not respond to our invitation to talk about his candidacy.
