Ohio's 8th congressional district sits on the west side of Ohio, bordering Indiana and Kentucky. The cities of Hamilton, Fairfield, Middletown, Eaton, and Greenville are part of the district. The district was represented by Republican John Boehner, the 53rd Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. On September 25, 2015, Boehner announced his resignation from the speakership and retirement from Congress, which became effective on October 31, 2015.

The current representative for this district is Republican Warren Davidson, who defeated Democrat Corey Foister and Green Party candidate James J. Condit Jr. in the 2016 special election to fill Boehner's seat.
