COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern not only saw his candidates suffer big losses on Election Night. He lost his own Ohio House seat.

Redfern was defeated by Republican Steven Kraus.

With all precincts reporting, Kraus, a real estate auctioneer from Sandusky, won with 51 percent of the vote, according to unofficial results.

House District 89, which covers Ottawa and Erie counties, leans slightly Democratic: President Obama won the district in 2012 with 53 percent of the vote.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated, in error, that Steven Kraus is from Marblehead. He is from Sandusky.
