2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio

The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the fifteen U.S. representatives from the state of Ohio, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, an election to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections took place on March 19, 2024.

Background During the 2020 redistricting cycle, the Ohio State Supreme Court ruled that the congressional district maps enacted by the Ohio Redistricting Commission were illegal gerrymanders that unduly favored Republicans, violating the Constitution of Ohio. Nevertheless, the 2022 elections took place using those districts as the Court determined that it did not have the authority to impose a new map itself, and it ultimately dismissed the case, ending any possibility that the maps would be redrawn for the 2024 elections.

Overview Both Democrats and Republicans held their ground in the election, securing every seat they won in 2022. Republicans performed the best in the 2nd district, which has the state's highest percentage of white voters. It was also Donald Trump's strongest in the presidential election;https://opoliticsguru.github.io/2024-Presidential-Election-Results-Ohio/#6/42.253/-77.783 however, Representative-elect David Taylor still outran him by 0.2%. Conversely, Democrats performed the strongest in the Black-plurality 11th district, which was also Kamala Harris's best.

Democrats improved on their 2022 results in ten districts, while Republicans gained ground in the other five: , , , and . Republicans made a large gain in OH-09, where they slashed Democrats' lead from 13.2% to a tiny 0.7% but failed to flip the district. Journalists attributed this result to Tom Pruss, the Libertarian candidate.
