Isolationism
Isolationism is a political philosophy advocating a national foreign policy that opposes involvement in the political affairs, and especially the wars, of other countries. Thus, isolationism fundamentally advocates neutrality and opposes entanglement in military alliances and mutual defense pacts. In its purest form, isolationism opposes all commitments to foreign countries including treaties and trade agreements. This distinguishes isolationism from non-interventionism, which also advocates military neutrality but does not necessarily oppose international commitments and treaties in general. This contrasts with philosophies such as colonialism, expansionism, and liberal internationalism.

The current district lines were drawn in 2011, following the redistricting based on the 2010 census. It is currently represented by Democrat Joyce Beatty. It was one of several districts challenged in a 2018 lawsuit seeking to overturn Ohio's congressional map due to alleged unconstitutional gerrymandering.Todd Ruger,Voters Challenge Ohio Congressional Map as Partisan Gerrymander" ''Roll Call,'' May 23, 2018. Retrieved 7 August 2018. According to the lawsuit, the 3rd was "shaped like a snowflake" that was designed to "fracture" Columbus. The plaintiffs focused on the 3rd in part because the district is barely contiguous. In some portions, it is almost, but not quite, split in two by the neighboring 12th and 15th districts which split the rest of Columbus between them.
