Congressman Tim Ryan (D-Howland), who has been in Congress since 2003, has announced he is running for Sen. Rob Portman s seat in 2022. He is the first Democrat to announce his candidacy for the race.
After months of speculation, Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan (D-Howland) has made it official: He’s running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated next year by Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman.
Ryan has been in Congress since 2003, though his district has been moving to the right in recent elections. Ryan says he’d be a voice in the Senate for Ohio’s workers.
States that lose seats may sue the Biden administration and challenge the apportionment count.
Overall, the U.S. population grew by 7.4% from 2010 to 2020. This is the second lowest rate of growth in Census Bureau history, since 1902.
Under normal circumstances, the apportionment data would have been delivered to the secretary of commerce and the president by December 31, 2020. However, the timeline was delayed due to a pause in data collection caused by the pandemic, as well as an unsuccessful push by the Trump administration to put a question about citizenship on the census.
The bureau completed its population count by mid-October in 2020, though some advocates worried about a potential undercount for minority and immigrant communities.
