  • 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.

Sutton Elected to Lead Freshman Class

Jul 9, 2008

WASHINGTON, D.C - Heading into the 2008 election, the Democratic Freshmen have chosen Congresswoman Betty Sutton (D-OH) to serve as President of the 49 Member class of 2006, known as the "majority makers."

 "I am honored to have been selected by my colleagues to lead the Freshman class, particularly as we approach one of the most critical elections in recent history. This group has made great strides to clean up the corruption in Washington, fight for the middle class and help move the country towards long-term energy independence, but we are just getting started. Moving forward, we will be working hard to create economic opportunities for all Americans and ensure that we have a government that is worthy of this great nation and the people we are so honored to represent," said Congresswoman Sutton.

 The Democratic Freshman Class of 2006 is one of the largest, active and most diverse classes in recent history, made up of progressives, blue dogs, new democrats and others. The class meets weekly with Speaker Nancy Pelosi to discuss policy initiatives, message strategy, and the nation's direction. 

 "As a strong independent voice for the people of Ohio, Congresswoman Betty Sutton has been a tireless advocate for not only her constituents, but all Americans, on the critical issues facing our nation," Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said.  "In Betty Sutton, her colleagues have chosen a Freshman Class President whose intellect and passion will be an invaluable resource for the Democratic Caucus and the entire Congress.  I congratulate Congresswoman Sutton and look forward to working with her on behalf of the American people."
