Stephen Clement Austria[1] (born October 12, 1958) is an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative for Ohio's 7th congressional district from 2009 to 2013.

[4] Austria was elected to a second term by defeating Libertarian John D. Anderson, Democrat Bill Conner and Constitution Party David Easton.

[12] Following the 2010 United States Census, Ohio lost two seats in the House of Representatives, due to relatively slow population growth.

State House Majority Leader Matt Huffman said that the new map "essentially eliminated" any realistic chance of Austria being able to stay in Congress.

[14] Austria is the third person of Filipino heritage (after Bobby Scott of Virginia and John Ensign of Nevada[15]) to serve in the House as a voting member.

"[19] Austria has a consulting business, and serves on an advisory board for the Republican National Committee and remains active in politics.

[23] Austria has lived in Beavercreek, a suburb of Dayton, for more than 20 years with his wife Eileen, and their three sons Brian, Kevin and Eric.
