In November, Clyde will run her first re-election campaign in Ohio House District 75 instead of the District 68 seat she was elected to, as redistricting recently divided Portage County into Ohio House Districts 75 and 76. She was first elected to her District 68 seat in 2010.

Kent is part of District 75, which also includes Atwater, Brady Lake, Brimfield, Charlestown, Deerfield, Edinburg, Franklin Township, Mogadore, Palmyra, Paris, Randolph, Ravenna City and Township, Rootstown, Streetsboro, Suffield, Sugar Bush Knolls and Tallmadge.
