  • 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.

Rep. Sutton Statement on Extension of Middle-Class Tax Cuts and Unemployment Insurance

Dec 16, 2010

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) released the following statement after voting to extend middle-class tax cuts and unemployment insurance:

"I supported the tax cut bill because it was critical to deliver the tax cuts to the middle class families and to provide urgently needed assistance to 238,230 Ohioans who are suffering unemployment in this very challenging economy. It is good that we were able to pass tax cuts to help the middle class, make college more affordable, help families climb out of poverty and other provisions that will help boost our struggling economy and create new cutting-edge green jobs for workers in Northeast Ohio. However, I am extremely disappointed that the Republicans insisted on adding billions of dollars to the deficit so that they could provide a bonus tax cut to the super rich and an extremely costly estate tax cut to 3,800 multi-millionaire and billionaire estates. The costs of those provisions will ultimately fall on our children and grandchildren as our deficit soars and we are forced to borrow more money from China to compensate for those unnecessary, disproportionate giveaways to the ultra rich. We shouldn't have to saddle our kids with billions in debt just so we can provide tax cuts to CEOs and the rich. We've had 10 years of tax cuts for CEOs and the rich, and they're the only ones who have prospered. It is atrocious that the Republicans insisted on giving them even a bigger share when it's time to help the middle class."
