Jim Jordan allies furious at proposed redistricting map
Proposed map could see Republican Jordan go head to head against Dem. Rep. Joyce Beatty in Ohio
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Allies of Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan are furious with the state Senate GOP for potentially putting the prominent House Republican’s seat on the line in a proposed redistricting map, Fox News has learned.
The Buckeye State’s Senate Republican Party proposed a redistricting map last week that turned heads and drew ire from Jordan’s allies.
According to the proposed map, Jordan could be billed up against Democrat Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio for the 4th Congressional District's seat.

Kevin Eichinger, a spokesperson for the Jordan campaign, suggested the proposed map was an attempt to draw the congressman out of his seat.

"John Boehner tried to draw Mr. Jordan out 10 years ago. It didn't work then. It won't work now," Eichinger said. "Mr. Jordan is running for reelection."
