Summary
The 13th district includes most of the Akron – Canton population corridor. The incumbent is Democrat Tim Ryan, who was re-elected with 52.5% in 2020. On April 26, 2021, Ryan announced that he would seek the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by two-term Senator Rob Portman.
This district is included on the list of Democratic-held seats the National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting in 2022. The seat was altered significantly due to redistricting, now including all of Summit County and switching out parts of the Mahoning Valley for Canton. Despite this, it remains a Democratic leaning swing seat.
