** Tim Ryan Joins PPI Campaign for Working Americans
------------------------------------------------------------
Washington, D.C. — Former U.S. Representative Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) joins the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI) as Senior Advisor to its new Campaign for Working Americans. Its mission is to develop a radically pragmatic governing agenda that can help Democrats and other center-left parties regain the allegiance of working class voters.

Ryan, who represented northeast Ohio in Congress from 2003 to 2023, also will help shape PPI’s energy and climate work. It advocates for a realistic, “all-of-the-above” approach to America’s clean energy transition that can win the support of working families, including those with good production jobs in traditional energy sectors.

Ryan grew up in a blue-collar, Irish-Italian family in Ohio’s Steel Valley. In Congress, he earned a reputation as a leading champion for U.S. manufacturing and economic redevelopment in America’s industrial centers. In 2022, Ryan was the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Ohio.

“I have long admired PPI’s pragmatic approach to policymaking and share its commitment to helping the Democratic Party win back working Americans. Ahead of this year’s critical election, I am excited to help PPI forge a new economic offer to working families who feel their voices aren’t heard in Washington,” said Tim Ryan.

“PPI is delighted to welcome our friend Tim Ryan aboard,” said Will Marshall, President of PPI. “He is a tireless fighter for the economic aspirations and heartland values of ordinary working Americans. We believe Tim can help us reach across the 'diploma divide' to these once and future Democrats.”

“It’s past time for working America to have a seat at the policymaking table, especially in the Democratic Party where the elites now have excessive influence,” said Lindsay Mark Lewis, Executive Director of PPI. “Tim Ryan has been a voice for working America for over two decades and we are thrilled to have him join PPI to continue this important work.”
