OH-01: Chabot faces challenge as Democrats look to flip Ohio district once again
Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) faces a competitive race to retain his seat in a red-leaning Ohio congressional district.
The Ohio Republican, who was first elected to the House in 1994, was ousted from his seat during the Democratic wave in 2008 but won back his seat in 2010. While President Trump won the district by six points in 2016, Democrats are vying to once again unseat the incumbent congressman, with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) reserving nearly $1 million for television ads in an attempt to boost Schroder ahead of election day.
Recent polling shows Chabot in a neck-and-neck race against Kate Schroder, former vice president of the Clinton Health Access Initiative, with the nonpartisan political handicapper Cook Political Report rating the district as a “toss-up.” One survey released by Democratic-aligned House Majority PAC showed Schroder with an edge over Chabot, leading Democratic strategists to voice optimism about their odds of unseating the Ohio Republican.
