Some races are expected to be tight, and the margins will be of critical importance to national Republicans and Democrats vying for a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, which needs only a four-seat swing this November to change from Republican control to Democrat.
This news organization declares a winner only after the Associated Press calls a race.
The races include Ohio’s 10th Congressional District, which encompasses Montgomery, Greene and part of Clark County; the 15th Congressional District, which meanders from Central Ohio through portions of Clark and Miami counties; the 1st Congressional District, which takes all of Warren and a portion of Hamilton County; and the 8th Congressional District, which springs north out of Hamilton to Butler, Darke and Miami counties.
