| Description | On March 7th, 2000, Tim Ryan, a 26 year-old law student and former Congressional aide to Representative James Traficant, emerged victorious from the heavily contested five-way Democratic primary for the 32nd District Ohio State Senate seat. Overcoming all odds, Ryan soundly defeated Darlene St. George, a seven-year Howland Township Trustee, and Marc Dann, an attorney and Democratic campaign consultant. Although exact spending figures will not be reported until the middle of April, estimates place Dann as having spent around $150,000 on the primary race and St. George well over $50,000, while Ryan spent less than $40,000.
The race was one of the three most closely followed races in the Mahoning Valley, only bested in Trumbull County by the grueling primary challenge to the sixteen-year incumbent Rep. James Traficant. The State Senate race, however, received greater than 2,000 more votes in Trumbull County than did the Congressional race. In fact, the State Senate race received more votes than did any other race on the primary ballot. |
