Lots of chatter tonight about this @AP story on #OHSen candidate @TimRyan (D) and $27,000 in campaign donations he has received since 2007 from "drug distributors blamed for key roles in the [opioid] crisis."
Dems criticizing it; GOP sharing it widely.

The report states that over @TimRyan's 20-year career in Congress, $27,000 of the $50+ million he has raised in campaign donations have come from three drug distribution companies that have helped fuel the opioid epidemic. 
The @AP report mentions that throughout the #OHSen race, @TimRyan has criticized @JDVance1 (R) for an opioid-focused nonprofit he launched that didn't end up accomplishing much...and involved a doctor with ties to Big Pharma.

Democrats, including @TimRyan's advisers and staffers, immediately criticized today's @AP report, arguing the donations are a drop in the bucket of Ryan's career fundraising.
They call the story a false equivalency to the @AP report about @JDVance1's now-shuttered nonprofit.

After the @AP report about @TimRyan came out today, Republicans, including @JDVance1's advisers and allies, pounced on it.
Vance even appeared on @seanhannity's show this evening and mentioned the story.

The opioid epidemic remains a serious crisis in Ohio, so it will be interesting to see what voters make of this @TimRyan story and the older @JDVance1 story.
The #OHSen race will be decided in less than five weeks.
