Ohio's 3rd congressional district is located entirely in Franklin County and includes most of the city of Columbus. The current district lines were drawn in 2011, following the redistricting based on the 2000 census. The district is barely contiguous. In some portions, it is almost, but not quite, split in two by the neighboring 12th and 15th districts.
It was one of several districts challenged in a 2018 lawsuit seeking to overturn Ohio's congressional map due to alleged unconstitutional gerrymandering.[5] According to the lawsuit, "District 3 is shaped like a snowflake and fractures Franklin County and the city of Columbus."[6]
It is currently represented by Democrat Joyce Beatty.

1951 special election[edit]
*In 1951, after Breen's resignation for ill health, Schenck was elected in a special election to complete Breen's term.
2002[edit]
In 2002, when then-U.S. Rep. Tony P. Hall decided to accept an appointment as a U.N. ambassador, Richard Alan Carne took his place as the Democratic nominee for the congressional seat. Carne lost the race to former Dayton mayor Michael R. Turner.[9]
2006 election[edit]
On August 13, 2006, Democratic candidate Stephanie Studebaker— who was the party's nominee to run against the incumbent Republican— was arrested, alongside her husband, on charges of domestic violence. Two days later, she withdrew from the race, leaving the Ohio Democratic Party without a candidate in the district. A Special primary election to select a new Democratic candidate was held on 15 September 2006.[10] Richard Chema won that election with nearly 75% of the vote, but lost to Republican Michael R. Turner in the general election.
