  • 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 Sponsors Trade Roundtable; Roundtable features prominent economists and researchers to discuss impacts of recent trade agreements

Feb 26, 2007

Washington, D.C. - Rep. Betty Sutton joined Rep. Michaud (ME-2) and Rep. Hare (IL-17) to announce her sponsorship in a roundtable tomorrow, February 27th at 1:00PM, in Room 340 of the Cannon House Office Building and will also examine the effects of recent U.S. trade agreements such as NAFTA. U.S. trade policy was a critical issue in the 2006 midterm elections and many Freshman Democrats are encouraging Congressional leaders to pursue changes in U.S. trade policy that will benefit American workers and businesses.

"The result of the recent elections show that voters support trade policies that allow American employers and employees to compete on an even playing field," said Sutton. "We can and must enact trade policies that encourage investment in our communities and that support our local businesses, workers and their families."

Sutton recently organized a letter, signed by 39 freshman Members, to House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel seeking ways to be involved in trade policy-making. Sutton continues to advocate for a new trade model that works for American workers and businesses to fight the 50,000 lost jobs in Ohio directly attributable to NAFTA, and the 200,000 lost manufacturing jobs in Ohio over the last six years.

The roundtable was organized by the Economic Policy Institute and the Global Policy Network to examine the proposed US-Korea Free Trade Agreement (US-KFTA) and to discuss the results of a major new three-country study, Revisiting NAFTA: Still Not Working for North America's Workers, and its implications for US-KFTA.
