NRCC Adds OH-01 to Target List

July 20, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) today announced Ohio’s 1st congressional district, represented by Democrat Greg Landsman is being added to its target list, further expanding the offensive battlefield across the country as House Republicans build momentum toward expanding the majority.

“Republicans are on offense across Ohio to grow our House majority in November. While Eric Conroy served our nation with honor, liberal Landsman lined his own pockets via corruption, raised costs, and made Ohioans less safe; Ohioans in Trump-won Ohio 1 are ready for change.”  – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

Background:

  • This district, now won by President Trump, has shifted to favor Republicans by nearly eight points compared to its previous iteration. 
  • The new map added all of Clinton County and rural western Hamilton County, while removing some Cincinnati suburbs that lean Democrat. 
  • Republicans have a proven history of winning the newly drawn OH-01 district:
    • President Trump won the new district in 2024, Governor Mike DeWine won it twice, and then Senator, now Vice President, J.D. Vance won it in 2022.
