2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio
The 1st district is based in Cincinnati, stretching southwestward to Ohio's borders with Kentucky and Indiana. It was represented by two-term Republican Congressman Steve Chabot.
The 2nd district takes eastern Cincinnati and its suburbs, including Norwood and Loveland, and stretches eastward along the Ohio River. This seat had been held by Republican Brad Wenstrup since 2013.
The 4th district, nicknamed the "duck district", sprawls from the Columbus exurbs, including Marion and Lima into north-central Ohio, taking in Oberlin. It had been represented by Republican Jim Jordan since 2007.
Former Democratic representative John Boccieri (who served in Ohio's 16th congressional district for a single term, from 2009 through 2011, and was defeated in his bid for reelection in the 2010 elections by Republican Jim Renacci) filed paperwork to run in the 7th district in January 2013,[34] but put his plans on hold, to potentially run in another district or not at all.[35] Ultimately he did not run for any seat.
Though Republican aides believed Boehner would step down as House speaker in 2014,[36] he had insisted that he would run for reelection to the House and as Speaker.[37] Boehner faced primary challenges from two conservatives, Eric Gurr and J.D. Winteregg.
The 10th district encompasses the Dayton metro area, including Dayton and the surrounding suburbs. It had been held by Republican Congressman Mike Turner since 2003.
The 13th district covers the Mahoning Valley in northeastern Ohio, including Youngstown and eastern parts of Akron. Democrat Tim Ryan was running for reelection.
Joyce was challenged in the Republican primary by State Representative Matt Lynch. Joyce, who had been called "Ohio's most vulnerable House Republican", did not win a primary election for the seat in 2012 after incumbent Republican Steve LaTourette retired months after winning the primary unopposed, leading local party leaders to pick Joyce to replace him.[45]
