Former Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton (D) announced she would not run for outgoing Sen. Rob Portman’s (R) seat, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
“Acton had toyed with the idea of running for the retiring Republican’s position, but said in a statement that she had decided against a bid. Top Democrats around the state had been trying to lure her away from the private sector to make a run for office.”
Rep. Tim Ryan (D) remains the Democratic frontrunner if he runs.
