Your current U.S. Representative for Ohio's 12th District is Troy Balderson (R), who has held the seat since a special election in August 2018. The district covers central Ohio, including Athens, Coshocton, Fairfield, Guernsey, Knox, Licking, Morgan, Muskingum, and Perry counties, plus parts of Delaware, Holmes, and Tuscarawas counties — including communities like Zanesville, Cambridge, and Mount Vernon.

A couple of things worth knowing:

Redistricting is happening. Ohio was required to redraw its congressional district boundaries ahead of the 2026 elections, and on October 31, 2025, the Ohio Redistricting Commission voted unanimously to approve a new congressional map that takes effect for the 2026 elections. Depending on where exactly you live, your district lines (and possibly your representative) could change starting with the November 2026 election.

2026 election is upcoming. The primary is May 5, 2026, and the general election is November 3, 2026. Balderson is running for reelection.

If you want to double check you're actually in OH-12 (especially given the redistricting), I'd recommend confirming with your address on the Ohio Secretary of State's website or house.gov's "find your representative" tool.
