, of Hilliard, owns and operates a small information technology company in Dublin. She declined to give her age, but she has been active in Democratic politics as a ward and central committeewoman for more than 30 years, and spent time in state government in several different capacities.
But it is Ryan, 48, who grew up in Niles and expierienced both the Mahoning Valley’s painful manufacturing retrenchments and its current hopes to become the “Voltage Valley,” who is the superior choice for Democrats in this race.
