  • After being convicted on criminal charges, the previously Democratic Representative Traficant decided to run for re-election as an independent. The new district created after the 2000 census brought incumbent Thomas C. Sawyer, who had been the incumbent in the 14th district, into the new 17th district. However, incumbent Sawyer (seen as anti-labor in a very blue-collar district) lost in the Democratic primary to Ryan, leaving Traficant the only incumbent in the race.
  • Redistricting following the 1980 census moved Lyle Williams from the 19th district to the 17th district.
  • John Ashbrook died in office in 1982. His wife, Jean Spencer Ashbrook was elected in a special election in 1982 to fill out his term.
  • McGregor died in office in October 1958.
  • In 1940, after the death in office of William Ashbrook, McGregor was elected in a special election to fill out Ashbrook's term.
