Ohio House Bill 319, introduced today as the first measure to map out redistricting in Ohio, shows the 14th Congressional District would still consist of Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties, plus portions of Cuyahoga, Summit, Trumbull and Portage counties.

The district is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette, R-Bainbridge Township.

Those seven counties currently comprise the district, so it’s just a matter of where the new lines will be drawn.

Ohio must shrink from 18 to 16 congressional districts due to the state’s lack of substantial population growth.

Below is a copy of the proposed map for the district.
