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:
“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)
“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)
