OH-14 · MODEL v1.14 · 3 INPUTS MEASURED
OH-14 enters through the Republican-held flip route at 27.5. V0.9 replaces the flat 0.70 cap with the same partial-coverage rule the Democratic route uses: 85% of the route's evidence is available, so the weighted mean of 29.3 is scaled by 0.940, moving the score +10.9. V0.10 refreshes incumbent finance from the FEC candidate summary through 2026-06-30, leaving the score unchanged.
THE MEMBER
David P. Joyce is the current Republican House member for OH-14. The retained congressional history records 13.6 cumulative years of House service through the source cutoff.

The FEC candidate summary snapshot (2026-06-30) reports $3,121,595 cash on hand, replacing the $3,121,595 release aggregate. The inverse log scale is 100 at $50,000 or less and 0 at $5 million or more.
The retained 2026 state-legislative Democratic primaries in this state drew more than one candidate in enough contests to score 51.0 on a scale where a 40% contested share is 100. This is state-level organizing context, not a district measure.
HOUSE HISTORY
Formula v0.9 Republican-held route: renormalized 0.45 × competitiveness + 0.20 × cash vulnerability + 0.15 × local context + 0.20 × state Democratic primary contestation (85% of component weight available) × 0.940 coverage multiplier; the former flat 0.70 cap is removed; v0.10 refreshes cash vulnerability from the FEC candidate summary snapshot
