  • 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 Supports Passage of DISCLOSE Act Improving Transparency of Campaign Ads

Jun 24, 2010

Washington, DC - Today, Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) supported passage of the Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Elections (DISCLOSE) Act, H.R. 5175, which will help bring transparency to campaign ads. The legislation will require corporations to disclose when they are paying for political ads.

Passed by the House in response to the Citizens United v Federal Election Commission case that opened the door to unlimited corporate campaign spending and foreign influence over U.S. elections, the DISCLOSE Act would also prevent government contractors from spending taxpayer money on campaign ads.

"As President Lincoln said, our country is `of the people, by the people, for the people' - not `of the corporate special interests, by the corporate special interests, for the special interests,'" said Rep. Sutton. "The DISCLOSE Act will shed light on who are behind the campaign ads that we see on TV. Now, they will have to come out of the shadows and show themselves, and answer the questions raised when they push special interests and Wall Street values at the expense of hard-working Ohioans."
