| |From 2023 to 2027, starting with the 2022 elections | |From 2027, starting with the 2026 elections | percent more than one race = 4.9 The 13th congressional district of Ohio is represented by Representative Emilia Sykes. Due to reapportionment following the 2010 United States census, Ohio lost its 17th and 18th congressional districts, necessitating redrawing of district lines. Following the 2012 elections, the 13th district changed to take in much of the territory in the former 17th district, including the city of Youngstown and areas east of Akron.

It was one of several districts challenged in a 2018 lawsuit seeking to overturn Ohio's congressional map as an unconstitutional gerrymander. According to the lawsuit, the 13th resembles a "jigsaw puzzle piece" that reaches out to grab the portion of Akron not taken in by the Cleveland-based 11th district.

From 2003 to 2013, the district ran from Lorain to include part of Akron, also taking in the suburban areas in between.

In the 2020 redistricting cycle, Ohio lost its 16th congressional district and this district was redrawn to include all of Summit County and parts of Stark and Portage County including Canton, North Canton and parts of Massillon, while Youngstown was removed from the district.

Composition

For the 118th and successive Congresses (based on redistricting following the 2020 census), the district contains all or portions of the following counties, townships, and municipalities:

Portage County (2)

: Mogadore (shared with Summit County), Suffield Township (part; also 14th)

Stark County (14)

: Canal Fulton, Canton, Canton Township (part; also 6th), Hartville, Hills and Dales, Jackson Township, Lake Township, Lawrence Township, Massillon (part; also 6th), Meyers Lake, North Canton, Perry Township (part; also 6th), Plain Township, Tuscarawas Township

Summit County (31)

: All 31 townships and municipalities
