Ohio's 17th congressional district

"OH-17" redirects here. OH-17 may also refer to Ohio State Route 17.

The 17th congressional district of Ohio is an obsolete congressional district last represented by Representative Timothy J. Ryan.

This district became obsolete for the 113th Congress in 2013 as congressional district lines were redrawn to accommodate the loss of the seat as a result of the 2010 Census. Most of the territory within the current 17th district has been merged into the Akron-based 13th district.

The new district created after the 2000 census brought incumbent Thomas C. Sawyer, who had been the incumbent in the 14th district, into the new 17th district. However, incumbent Sawyer (seen as anti-labor in a very blue-collar district) lost in the Democratic primary to Ryan, leaving Traficant the only incumbent in the race.
