Troy Balderson
Republican

A special election for Ohio's 12th congressional district was held August 7, 2018, following the resignation of Republican U.S. Representative Pat Tiberi. The Republican Party nominated State Senator Troy Balderson for the seat while the Democratic Party nominated Franklin County Recorder Danny O'Connor. Balderson led O'Connor in preliminary results, however the race was not officially called on election night. [1] Counting of outstanding ballots began on August 18 and was completed on August 24. [2] The outstanding ballots did not change the margin enough to trigger an automatic recount, so Balderson was declared the winner on August 24. [3]

O'Connor dominated the district's portion of Franklin County, home to the largest share of the district's population. However, he could not overcome a 4,800-vote deficit in normally heavily Republican Delaware County, the largest whole county in the district. Still, this was easily the closest that a Democrat had come to winning the district since 1982.
