He is running for office to continue advocating for his patients and community beyond the hospital.
Bryan organized medical professionals to push back against misleading 2024 ballot language and spoke with voters across Ohio about how gerrymandering affects government accountability. Through these efforts, he found broad support for a government that truly serves its people.
Bryan and his wife, Jana, a trauma surgeon, are raising their two young children with a shared commitment to democracy and standing up for what’s right.
