  • In 2005, a special election was required to fill the seat following Portman's resignation to accept nomination to the office of United States Trade Representative.
  • In May 1993, a special election was held to fill the seat to replace Willis D. Gradison Jr. who, three months after his re-election, resigned on 31 January 1993, to become a lobbyist for the insurance industry as president of the Health Insurance Association of America.
  • Redistricting following the 1980 census moved Luken from the second district to the first district and Gradison from the first district to the second district.
