  • 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.

On these subcommittees, Sutton will be in a prime position to work on healthcare, consumer protection, trade, and other issues critical to the future of our nation and particularly, Ohio's 13th district. In addition, as a member of the full Committee on Energy and Commerce, Sutton will also have the right to participate in the Subcommittee hearings on energy and environment issues.

With these subcommittee assignments, I will be in a strong position to advocate for affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans, a trade policy that will work for American workers and businesses, and to protect American families from faulty and tainted goods. I will also be able to continue working on renewable and alternative energy initiatives to help bring new, good-paying green jobs to northeast Ohio. The Energy and Commerce Committee will lead the effort on these critical issues for our country and I am honored that I will have the chance to play an active and direct role," said Congresswoman Sutton.
