District 11
Ohio's 11th congressional district has been represented by Democrat Marcia Fudge since 2008. Fudge will seek re-election. Gerald Henley, a former member of the Cleveland school board who unsuccessfully ran for the Cuyahoga County Council as an independent in 2010; Marie Jefferson; and Isaac Powell, who unsuccessfully challenged Fudge in the 2008 and 2010 Democratic primaries, unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination. U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich, who has represented the 10th district since 1997 and had considered seeking re-election in the 11th district, instead ran in the 9th district; while state senator Nina Turner, who had planned to challenge Fudge in the Democratic primary, announced in December 2011 that she would not run. Turner may instead run as an independent candidate.
