Ohio's Congressional Districts
Ohio is divided into 18 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2010 Census, Ohio lost two House seats, and a new map was signed into law on September 26, 2011.
The districts are currently represented in the 112th United States Congress by 5 Democrats and 13 Republicans.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio and/or districts:
“All inquiry into antiquity, all curiosity respecting the Pyramids, the excavated cities, Stonehenge, the Ohio Circles, Mexico, Memphis,—is the desire to do away this wild, savage, and preposterous There and Then, and introduce in its place the Here and Now.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
