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.

Reps. Betty Sutton and Tim Ryan Announce $1.9 Million Grant for Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Aug 18, 2011Representatives Tim Ryan and Betty Sutton announced the award of a Federal Highway Administration grant of $1,947,393 for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This grant will go towards the “Cuyahoga Valley National Park Safety and Accessibility Improvement Project.” The Summit County Engineer’s office originally applied for this grant from the Public Lands Highway Discretionary Program (PHLD).
“This grant will help us increase the safety and accessibility of Ohio’s only National Park while making a critical investment in infrastructure,” said Representative Ryan. “This project to improve the quality of Cuyahoga Valley National Park also supports our goal of creating jobs right here at home. I’m glad that we could partner with the Summit County Engineer’s office to accelerate this project, get people back to work, and protect this national treasure.”
“This funding will not only put Ohioans back to work, it will provide more accessible, safer roads throughout our National Park,” said Representative Sutton. “I am proud to support this important investment, and look forward to sharing the results of this project with my constituents for years to come.”
The PHLD program provides funding for transportation planning, research, and engineering construction of highways, roads, parkways, and transit facilities that are within or adjacent to national parks. A spokesman for the Summit County Engineer’s Office noted that this project is a great example of county and federal agencies working together to accelerate needed improvements for a Northeast Ohio treasure.
Located partially within and around the greater Akron and Cleveland areas, CVNP is consistently one of the top ten visited national parks. The park is dedicated to maintaining this standing within the national park system.
