Ohio's 13th Congressional District
The 13th congressional district of Ohio is represented by Representative Betty Sutton, who defeated Republican Craig L. Foltin on Nov. 7, 2006. It was formerly represented by Sherrod Brown. The district runs from Lorain to include part of Akron (which is split between this district and the Seventeenth), also taking in the suburban areas in between.
Due to reapportionment following the 2010 United States Census, Ohio lost its 17th and 18th congressional districts, necessitating redrawing of district lines. Following the 2012 elections, the 13th district will expand to take in much of the territory in the current 17th district, including the city of Youngstown and areas east of Akron.
