Former member of Congress · last served 115th Congress
James B. Renacci
James Renacci was a Republican U.S. representative from Ohio, first elected to Congress in 2011, who voted with most Republicans on 92% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes and sponsored 1 bill that became law (113th–115th Congress).
How we count: “Broke with party” is a yes/no roll call where the member voted against most of their own party on that vote (party as recorded; even splits not counted). “Pork: own share” splits each earmark shared by several members evenly among them.

Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has Ohio done while Rep. Renacci served?
2011 to 2018 in Ohio: typical household income was up 10% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 2.5 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 5.5 points.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Ohio during Renacci’s time representing it (2011 to 2019). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Ohio’s borders do not change, so every year is comparable. The Census Bureau has no 2020 yearly estimate.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
