District

Source: Wikipedia

Ohio’s 1st congressional district is represented by Democrat Greg Landsman. The district includes the city of Cincinnati, all of Warren County and borders the state of Kentucky. This district was once represented by President William Henry Harrison. After redistricting in 2010, the district was widely seen as heavily gerrymandered by state Republicans to protect the incumbent, Steve Chabot.Chabot lost the seat in 2022 to Landsman, after redistricting unified the city of Cincinnati into the district. The city was previously split between the 1st and 2nd districts.

The district includes all of Warren County, a much more heavily Republican area. Previous iterations of the district (before 2013) did not include Warren County.

Gregory John Landsman (born December 4, 1976)[1] is an American politician who is the U.S. representative from Ohio’s 1st congressional district since 2023.

A member of the Democratic Party, Landsman served on the Cincinnati City Council from 2018 to 2022.[2] He was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Ohio’s 1st congressional district, defeating 13-term incumbent Steve Chabot in the 2022 election.

Early life and education

Landsman was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio to a Jewish family. He earned a bachelor’s degree in economic and political science from Ohio University in 1999 and a master’s degree in theological studies from Harvard Divinity School in 2004.[3][4] Governor Ted Strickland appointed Landsman to be his director of faith-based and community initiatives in 2007.[5]

Landsman served as executive director for Strive until December 2015. He then led Preschool Promise, an initiative to make two years of preschool available to all three- and four-year-olds in Cincinnati.[6] Preschool Promise was incorporated into a joint levy with Cincinnati Public Schools, and the levy passed in November 2016.[7]

Cincinnati City Council

Landsman ran for the Cincinnati City Council in 2013 and lost. He ran again in 2017,[5] and was elected to one of the council’s seats in the November general election.[8] Landsman was reelected in 2021.[9]

In 2018, Landsman and four other city councilors (P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Seelbach, Wendell Young, and Tamaya Dennard), known collectively as the “Gang of Five”, were found to be discussing city business via text messages. They talked about how to keep the city manager and potentially regain power from the mayor. In March 2019, the Gang of Five agreed to turn over their text messages in order to settle a lawsuit filed by a local anti-tax activist. The text messages were made searchable and posted on the website of the law firm that sued the Gang of Five.[10] No criminal charges were filed.[11]

U.S. House of Representatives

Political positions

Syria

In 2023, Landsman voted against H.Con.Res. 21, which aimed to direct President Joe Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.[12][13]

Elections

2022

In 2021, national Democrats recruited Landsman to run against longtime Republican incumbent Steve Chabot for the United States House of Representatives seat from Ohio’s 1st congressional district in the 2022 elections.[14] Landsman announced his candidacy in January 2022[15] and defeated Chabot in the November election by nearly six percentage points.[16]
