Ohio's 11th congressional district encompasses portions of
Ohio has had at least 11 congressional districts since the 1820 census. The district's current configuration dates from the 1990 census, when most of the old 21st District was combined with portions of the old 20th District to form the new 11th District. Much of Akron was added to the district when the congressional map was redrawn after the 2010 census, when Ohio lost two seats in the House of Representatives. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index of D+28, it is the most Democratic district in Ohio[2] and the most Democratic district in the Midwest outside of Chicago, Illinois.
It was one of several districts challenged in a 2018 lawsuit seeking to overturn Ohio's congressional map due to alleged unconstitutional gerrymandering.[3] The lawsuit describes the 11th as "a detached shoulder blade with a robotic arm" extending from Cleveland to Akron.[4]
Following Marcia L. Fudge's resignation on March 10, 2021, a special election was held, with a primary on August 3 and the general election on November 2, as mandated by Ohio law. Shontel Brown won the election, and was sworn in on November 4.
History
The modern-era 11th district came to be as a result of redistricting following the 1990 census, and taking effect for the 1992 election. From then until 2023, it covered eastern Cleveland, including most of that city's majority-black precincts. From 2013 to 2023, it covered portions of Akron.
Following the retirement of
Fudge served eight terms (the last month of Jones's fifth term, followed by six full terms, then three months of another) when she resigned on March 10, 2021, to join
