District 14

The 14th district is located in Northeast Ohio, taking in the eastern suburbs and exurbs of Cleveland, including Mayfield Heights, Solon, and Independence, as well as Ashtabula, Lake, and Geauga counties, northern Portage County, and northeastern Summit County. Republican representative David Joyce had represented the 14th district since January 2013.

Republican primary

Joyce was challenged in the Republican primary by State Representative Matt Lynch. Joyce, who had been called "Ohio's most vulnerable House Republican", did not win a primary election for the seat in 2012 after incumbent Republican Steve LaTourette retired months after winning the primary unopposed, leading local party leaders to pick Joyce to replace him.^[45]
