How does the new 10th Congressional district affect you?

Mike Turner currently represents Ohio’s 3rd Congressional District — most of Montgomery County, northern Warren County, plus Clinton and Highland counties. Steve Austria currently represents the 7th district — Greene, Clark and Fayette counties, plus areas just south of Columbus.

The district lines have been redrawn for 2012 candidates, who will take office in 2013. The new 10th Congressional district will include all of Montgomery and Greene counties, as well as a piece of Fayette County to the east. That means Huber Heights voters who have been represented by John Boehner, as well as Greene and Fayette county voters who have been represented by Steve Austria, are now included in the 10th district.
