Ohio's 1st congressional district is represented by Republican Steve Chabot. This district includes the western four-fifths of Cincinnati, and borders both Kentucky and Indiana. This district was once represented by President William Henry Harrison. Since redistricting in 2010, the district is widely seen by Democrats as heavily gerrymandered by state Republicans to protect the incumbent, Steve Chabot.^[3] The new district includes all of Warren County, a much more heavily Republican area. Previous iterations of the district did not include Warren County.^[4]
