  • The 13th Congressional District & Map

    Ohio's 13th Congressional District truly is a great place to live, raise a family and do business. Congresswoman Sutton has lived most of her life in and around the communities that make up much of the district, and she is proud to represent the people and places she knows and loves so much.

    Originally nicknamed the “Turnpike District”, the 13th Congressional District’s unique shape traces across the shoreline of Lake Erie in Lorain County, captures the “Emerald Necklace” of the Cleveland MetroParks and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and extends south to include the Portage Lakes State Park in Summit County. The 13th Congressional District is also home to institutions of higher learning such as Lorain County Community College and The University of Akron.

    The 13th Congressional District stretches across four of Northeast Ohio’s most populous counties, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Medina, and Summit, and it includes all or some of over thirty communities.

Sutton Statement in Celebration of Earth Day

Apr 21, 2008

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Betty Sutton released the following statement today in celebration of Earth Day tomorrow:

"Earth day provides us with the opportunity to reflect on how we are treating our planet and allows us to renew our commitment to the preservation and protection of our natural resources. It is wonderful that so many of our youth are engaged in earth day activities, as it reminds us how important it is that we ensure our children and grandchildren have a clean world in which to live.

Right here in Ohio, we know that our national parks are one of our most precious gifts. Over 2.5 million people visited Cuyahoga Valley National Park last year, and it is important that we maintain this national treasure for millions more to see. Protecting and preserving our parks and other landscapes is not only significant as part of a larger effort to protect the environment, but they are vital educational resources in which our families can visit and learn about nature and wildlife. It is also crucial that we continue the fight to protect and restore our Great Lakes. These invaluable bodies of water are an essential asset for our families and our economy and are an integral part of our communities.

In addition, it is essential that we continue to pursue alternative and renewable energy sources. Investing in alternative resources will relieve the financial stress shared by working families in Ohio and will allow us to explore environmentally friendly energy options that will promote our energy independence. This past December, the House passed a groundbreaking energy bill that strengthens national security by lessening our dependence on foreign oil, reduces global warming, raises CAFE standards and creates hundreds of thousands of new jobs to strengthen our economy."
