District 1
Ohio's 1st congressional district has been represented by Republican Steve Chabot, who previously served from 1995 until 2009, since January 2011. Chabot will seek re-election.
Jeff Sinnard defeated Malcolm Kantzler by a scant 56 votes for the Democratic nomination (the reference footnote 19 provides only the unofficial, election night final tally). This was Kantzler's first run for public office, while Sinnard unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination in the 2nd district in 2005 and 2006. State representative Connie Pillich, who had considered seeking the Democratic nomination in either the 1st or 2nd district, did not run.
Rich Stevenson will run as the Green Party nominee. Jim Berns defeated Queen Noble for the Libertarian Party nomination.
