  • 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.

Rep. Sutton Statement On Successful Use of FDA Food Safety Authority

Nov 27, 2012

Congresswoman Betty Sutton sponsored the landmark Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) signed into law in January 2011 which included sweeping improvements to food safety law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton (OH-13) released the following statement today after the Food and Drug Administration used new enforcement authority included in the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act to suspend operations at Sunland Inc.’s processing plant after 41 people in 20 states were sickened by salmonella poisoning.

“The enhanced authority given to the FDA allowed the agency to protect the American people and keep tainted food products off our shelves. Americans need to be able to trust that the food they eat and feed their families is safe. I applaud the FDA for taking action to protect the public until the food producer proves that their facilities are clean enough to reopen."
