  • 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 Applauds Decision to Launch Investigation into China's Unfair Trade Practices in Green Technologies

Oct 15, 2010

WASHINGTON, DC - Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio) applauded today's decision to launch an investigation into China's unfair trade practices in green technologies that benefit its green technology manufacturers at the expense of American competitors.

"I applaud today's challenge to China's unfair trading practices that harm our workers and businesses in the development, manufacturing and deployment of clean energy products," said Rep. Sutton. "When China entered the WTO, they agreed to a set of trade rules, and they must be held accountable for any and all violations. These violations have cost our workers and businesses jobs and opportunities and must not be allowed to continue."

On September 28, 2010, Rep. Sutton and 180 other Members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging the administration to address China's unfair trade practices in the green technology sector.

In the letter, the Members express their strong concern regarding these unfair trade practices, and urge the administration to mobilize its resources to bring China's predatory green technology policies to an end. Recognizing the President's commitment to trade enforcement to date, the letter underscores the need for the administration to redouble its efforts by taking action on the basis of the Steelworkers' Section 301 petition and by ensuring that USTR has the resources and personnel it needs to target these unfair trade practices aggressively and comprehensively.

Earlier today, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) ruled by a unanimous 6-0 determination that the U.S. steel industry has been materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized imports of certain seamless pipe from China. Rep. Sutton testified at the final USITC hearing for the seamless pipe case on September 14, 2010 and submitted a letter she organized that was signed by 11 bipartisan Members of the Ohio Congressional delegation urging the ITC to fully and effectively enforce trade laws.
