As the result of redistricting following the 2000 census, the 17th, which had long been based in Youngstown, had been pushed to the west and now included much of Portage County and part of Akron. The 14th had been eliminated in the year 2000 redistricting. Most of it was drawn into the 13th District of fellow Democrat Sherrod Brown, but Sawyer's home was drawn into the 17th. He was initially seen as an underdog in a six-way Democratic primary that included Sawyer.
