Chabot's district became considerably more Democratic in redistricting. It now includes the entire city of Cincinnati; previously the eastern portion had been in the heavily Republican 2nd district. Chabot had considered retiring but ultimately ran for re-election as he believed Republicans would write off the seat unless he ran again. In the general election, he lost in an upset to Democratic nominee [[Greg Landsman]], a member of the [[Cincinnati City Council]]. Chabot was the last surviving member of the "[[Republican Revolution]]" of [[1994 United States House of Representatives elections|1994]] who was still serving in Congress.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Representative Steve Chabot Farewell Speech |url=https://www.c-span.org/video/?524784-4/representative-steve-chabot-farewell-speech |website=C-SPAN}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Steve Chabot concedes to Greg Landsman |url=https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2022/11/09/chabot-concedes-to-landsman |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=spectrumnews1.com |language=en}}</ref> Afterwards, Chabot stated that he would not run for the seat in [[2024 United States House of Representatives elections|2024]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wartman |first1=Scott |date=9 November 2022 |title=Chabot won't run again after Tuesday's loss.
