Ohio’s 13th District
Ohio’s 13th, an Akron-area seat Democrat Emilia Sykes holds, prices as a safe hold — the market has the Democratic side deep in favorite range against Republican Carey Coleman despite a GOP redraw aimed at the district. Incumbency plus a favorable midterm environment overpowers the new map here. The contract functions as a floor reference for how the Democratic House map is holding up.

How to read this
Each contract pays $1 at resolution, so the price in cents is the market’s implied probability — a 58¢ contract is a 58% chance. When the leading price sits near 50¢, the market is telling you the district is a genuine coin flip.
The live board above shows the current market favorite — read each contract’s price as the market’s implied probability, so a 55¢ contract is a 55% chance. Going into the cycle the seat (Ohio’s 13th District) is held by Emilia Sykes (Democrat) and rated safe d; because a real-money market reprices continuously, take today’s favorite off the price, not a static rating.
