People on social media have been linking Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jane Timken to the actions of Stark County-based bearings manufacturer Timken Co., a publicly-traded company and not a private family-owned business.
But Timken, who announced she was running for Senate on Feb. 18, has never worked for the Timken Co. or TimkenSteel, which was spun off from Timken Co. in 2014.
Fact check: Her only link is through marriage. Her husband, Ward J. Tim Timken, Jr. is the great-great grandson of the company s founder, Henry Timken. Tim Timken was the CEO of TimkenSteel and is currently a Timken Co. board member. He is not taking part in the day-to-day operations of the company.
Two prominent Stark County Republicans expressed immediate support for Jane Timken s candidacy should she announce a run for U.S. Senate.
Stark County Commissioner Janet Weir Creighton and Sarah Brown of Alliance, a member of the Ohio Republican Central Committee, said they would endorse Timken if she seeks the Senate seat, which they hope she will. All I have to say is run Jane, run Jane, said Creighton.
Timken, a Jackson Township resident, announced Friday she was stepping down as Ohio GOP chair and considering running for U.S. Senate in the wake of Sen. Rob Portman s decision not to run again in 2022. She would be first woman to be a U.S. senator representing Ohio should she run and win.
