Ohio's 3rd congressional district includes most of the city of Dayton and its surrounding suburbs and exurbs. It is currently represented by Representative Mike Turner.
Due to redistricting following the 2010 United States Census, this district's lines will change drastically after the 2012 elections. The new 3rd district will be located entirely in Franklin County and include most of the city of Columbus. Most of the territory within the current 3rd district, including all of Dayton and Montgomery County will become part of the new 10th district.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio and/or district:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
