We are in Clark County. This district was previously Hobson's, but he retired. Then the voters selected Steve Austria.
When Ohio was deemed to lose 2 Congressional seats, the map drawers couldn't decide if Clark County would be moved to Mike Turner in Montgomery County and a run-off with Austria.
Or another option was to combine Clark County with Steve Stivers district to the east of us.
Finally, Clark County was moved to Boehner's District. This will make it easy to protest him next year for the elections though.
The other district being re-drawn was Kucinich and Kaptur. Not sure how that was re-drawn yet.
edit to add
12/15/11
The revised 9th District would still stretch along the Lake Erie shoreline from Toledo to Cleveland and would still presumably set up a Democratic primary election contest between Miss Kaptur and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich. The changes, however, are believed to be more favorable to Miss Kaptur than Mr. Kucinich.
