I also live in Columbus. This state is very gerrymandered. Both the state house & state senators districts were very carefully drawn by so the state level officials are safe.
The congressional districts are gerrymandered as well. An examples,Ohio 12, the one Danny OConnor ran in, extends into C-bus City proper, then north & east to rural Ohio. You remember John Bohener, prev Speaker of House b/4 rat face Ryan? He & his Rep. friends which have controlled the both chambers of the state house for 20+ yrs, drew very very safe districts for Rep candidates. The Dem areas, ie "Urban" were set so the northern Ohio Dems had to fight each other. The Dem seat is the city of Columbus, students & a lot of POC.

This state is no longer the a blue state,it's maroon.
