| Description | Former Democratic congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy is emerging as a likely candidate for a new U.S. House seat in Franklin County being created by Ohio Republicans.
The district, which is to include most of the Democratic areas of Columbus and Franklin County, is part of a new congressional map that will be submitted today to the Ohio legislature for approval. Because Republicans control both the Senate and House, the map is all but certain to win quick approval.
The new Columbus district was crafted by GOP strategists as part of a maneuver to strengthen the seats held by Republicans Pat Tiberi of Genoa Township, Steve Stivers of Upper Arlington and Bob Gibbs of Lakeville. The new map calls for distribution of solidly Republican precincts to those three incumbents; as a result, most central Ohio Democrats would end up in one district. |
