Ohio's 9th Congressional District
Ohio's 9th congressional district has been represented by Representative Marcy Kaptur ( D) since 1983. This district is in the northern part of the state, bordering Michigan and Ontario, Canada (via Lake Erie), and includes portions of Cuyahoga, Erie, Lorain, Lucas, and Ottawa counties. Due to redistricting by the Republican-controlled state legislature following the 2010 state elections, the 9th district absorbed part of western Cuyahoga County pitting 10th district Democratic incumbent Dennis Kucinich against Kaptur in the 2012 Democratic primary. The redesigned 9th district has been called "The Snake by the Lake" due to its long and skinny appearance on the map"Kill the Snake by the Lake"

Governor Of Ohio
A governor is an administrative leader and head of a polity or political region, ranking under the head of state and in some cases, such as governors-general, as the head of state's official representative.
