Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio, who announced his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday, is less known than many other candidates in the race. Here’s a brief look at where Mr. Ryan stands on some prominent issues. Economic policyJob creation and the “dignity of work” — a phrase Mr. Brown frequently uses and, on Thursday, encouraged Mr. Ryan to focus on — are almost certain to be the centerpiece of Mr. Ryan’s campaign. In an interview a few hours after he announced his candidacy, Mr. Ryan said he wanted to address the “economic disorientation” caused by the decline of traditional manufacturing. Mr. Ryan said he had decided to enter the race in part because of the recent closing of the General Motors plant in Lordstown, Ohio, which is in his district.
