  • 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.

Funding for Rep. Sutton's CARS Act is Approved through House Supplemental Appropriations Bill

Jun 16, 2009

Washington, D.C. - Today, funding for Congresswoman Sutton's CARS Act was approved with the passage of the House supplemental appropriations bill. The legislation will also provide $500 monthly payments for every month soldiers have been subject to stop-loss. Firefighters will also benefit from this supplemental through the expansion of the permissible uses for SAFER grants that will be used to rehire or retain much-needed firefighters. Additionally, funding for our troops, pandemic flu response and other urgent needs is included. The measure passed the House by a margin of 226-202.

"Passage of the House supplemental bill brings us one step closer to helping consumers, improving the environment and boosting auto sales," Rep. Sutton said. "Through this supplemental, soldiers will finally receive the compensation they deserve. They have gone far above and beyond the call of duty in serving our country.

"In my district, many communities have had to lay off firefighters. I am very pleased that language is included that will expand the permissible uses of SAFER grants and permit communities to rehire and retain firefighters. Protecting the jobs of our first responders is a top priority in ensuring safety for all communities."

The Senate is expected to take up the supplemental tomorrow.
