Ohio's 11th congressional district encompasses portions of Cuyahoga County and Summit County in the Northeast part of the state—including most of the majority-black precincts between Cleveland and Akron. It has been represented by Shontel Brown since 2021. The seat for the district in the United States House of Representatives was vacant until November 4, 2021, its previous occupant, Marcia Fudge, having resigned in 2021 to join the Biden administration as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
