  • The 13th Congressional District & Map

    Ohio's 13th Congressional District truly is a great place to live, raise a family and do business. Congresswoman Sutton has lived most of her life in and around the communities that make up much of the district, and she is proud to represent the people and places she knows and loves so much.

    Originally nicknamed the “Turnpike District”, the 13th Congressional District’s unique shape traces across the shoreline of Lake Erie in Lorain County, captures the “Emerald Necklace” of the Cleveland MetroParks and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and extends south to include the Portage Lakes State Park in Summit County. The 13th Congressional District is also home to institutions of higher learning such as Lorain County Community College and The University of Akron.

    The 13th Congressional District stretches across four of Northeast Ohio’s most populous counties, Lorain, Cuyahoga, Medina, and Summit, and it includes all or some of over thirty communities.

Return to Issues & Legislation

Congresswoman Sutton knows that when America’s largest financial institutions were on the brink of collapse, the federal government and the American taxpayers came to their rescue.  Ordinary citizens were suffering and action was taken to get credit flowing again. Wall Street has experienced recovery, but Main Street still needs help. 

The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 regulates the risk across the financial system, imposes new curbs on the multitrillion-dollar derivatives market, and gives the government tools to dissolve failing financial firms. Important provisions in this legislation include consumer protections, ending too big to fail bailouts, advance warning systems, increased transparency, and the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The enactment of the Wall Street Reform Act is a critical step to protect American families and small businesses whose hard-earned savings were gambled away by the irresponsible actors on Wall Street.

Congresswoman Sutton also supported the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which will help 204,035 small businesses in Ohio and an additional 697,212 self-employed Ohioans. It provides much needed tax cuts, leverages private sector lending for small businesses, expands access to capital and does not increase the deficit. This legislation will go a long way to supporting the revitalization of small businesses in America, which are truly the engine of our economy.

The Congresswoman was also proud to be an original cosponsor of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (The CARD Act). The CARD Act created a Credit Card Bill of Rights that increases transparency to credit cardholders, bans marketing and issuance to minors under age 18, contains annual data-reporting requirements for card companies, and allows cardholders to set their own “hard” credit limit to avoid over-the-limit fees. It improves consumer protection, enhances consumer disclosure and reforms mortgage lending.
