Fudge (OH-11) released the following statement in support of Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-13) for House Minority Leader:\r\n\r\n\t\"After spending considerable time contemplating the future of the House Democratic Caucus and our party, I have decided to support Tim Ryan for House Minority Leader. \u00a0\r\n\r\n\t\u201cI believe now is the right time for new leadership. \u00a0As of January 2016, Democrats have experienced significant losses in the House and Senate, yet Members have been asked for little to no input to address the reasons for these losses.\u00a0 We continue to rely on consultants who know less than we about our districts and our states.\u00a0 \r\n\r\n\t\u201cI know Tim to be a good listener, motivator and inclusive leader. He is open to new ideas and will listen to the concerns and suggestions of all Caucus members.\u00a0 \u00a0\r\n\r\n\t\u201cI am now and have always been a loyal Democrat.\u00a0 I will support all those we elect to leadership positions.\u00a0 However, I do believe this is the time for a new direction and am confident my colleague from Ohio is the right choice.\u201d\r\n\r\n\t###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fudge.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=25&itemid=1791"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8643210642039776, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
