| Elections in Ohio |
|---|

The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 to elect the 16 U.S. Representatives from the state of Ohio, a loss of two seats following the 2010 United States Census. The elections will coincide with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a quadrennial presidential election and an election to the U.S. Senate.
Redistricting
In order for Ohio to hold its presidential primary in March 2012, congressional redistricting will need to be completed by September 1, 2011.[1] In order to become law, a new map needs to be approved by a majority in the Ohio House of Representatives and Senate and signed by Governor John Kasich.[2] The process was formally begun by a legislative panel on June 16. Republicans are likely to seek to eliminate at least one district currently represented by a Democrat,[3] and may seek to draw either 13 districts which favor Republicans and three which favor Democrats (thereby ensuring that all 13 Republican incumbents can be re-elected), or 12 which favor Republicans and four which favor Democrats.[2]
District 1
Ohio's 1st congressional district has been represented by Republican Steve Chabot, who previously served from 1995 until 2009, since January 2011. Democrats Mark Mallory, the mayor of Cincinnati;[4] and Steve Driehaus, who represented the seat from 2009 until 2011 before losing his seat to Chabot in 2010,[5] may run.
District 2
Brad Wenstrup will run for the Republican nomination.

District 8
Ohio's 8th congressional district has been represented by Republican John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, since 1991. Judson Phillips, the founder of Tea Party Nation, said in March 2011 that the Tea Party movement should recruit a candidate to challenge Boehner in the Republican primary.[6]
District 10
Ohio's 10th congressional district has been represented by Democrat Dennis Kucinich since 1997. Kucinich's district is likely to be effectively eradicated in redistricting; as a result, he is considering running for Congress in Washington, which will gain a seat in redistricting.[7] Rob Frost will run for the Republican nomination.

District 12
Ohio's 12th congressional district has been represented by Republican Pat Tiberi since 2001. In March 2011, Tiberi acknowledged that he was considering running for the U.S. Senate.[8]
District 14
John Greene Jr. will run for the Democrat nomination.

District 16
Ohio's 16th congressional district has been represented by Republican Jim Renacci since January 2011. Democrat John Boccieri, who represented the district from 2009 until 2011, said in June 2011 that he would consider running again in light of the effects of redistricting, but also commented "I've been on the political turnpike for 12 years. It feels good to pull off the turnpike into a rest area for a while."[9]
