Marcy Kaptur is the longest-serving woman in the U.S. House of Representatives, having served Ohio since 1983. We are honored to support her.
Rep. Kaptur has a truly admirable record of accomplishments. In contrast, her opponent Derek Merrin (OH House-42), has a record of being either ineffective or harmful as a legislator.
Merrin has primarily sponsored bills that "honor" or "are in memory of"someone (ineffective). In 2023, Merrin supported the bill to raise the number of votes needed to pass a constitutional amendment from 50%+1 to 60%--a backdoor attempt to defeat Ohio's Reproductive Rights
amendment to the constitution. Additionally, he supported legislation to take away parental rights to make medical decisions for their transgender children, and to turn those rights over to the state (harmful).
In contrast, Marcy Kaptur has worked across party lines to promote the creation of jobs, economic growth, vital infrastructure, and support for veterans and our military. She advocates for economic and health security, striving to create a level playing field for all. Marcy Kaptur is known as a "Fighter for Working Families."
