NRCC Statement on OH-01

May 6, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released the following statement on Ohio’s 1st Congressional District primary election: 

“Air Force veteran Eric Conroy’s decisive primary victory in this Trump won district sets Greg Landsman up for his toughest election yet. While liberal Landsman broke federal law to line his own pockets and defunded the police, Eric Conroy served our nation with honor and is ready to restore accountability and common sense for Southwest Ohio.” – 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.
