Marcy Kaptur bullish on defying GOP redraw
Rep. Marcy Kaptur is in a hotly contested rematch against Republican Derek Merrin in a district that grew redder in last year’s map redraw. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), the longest-serving woman in Congress and a longtime GOP target, is in a rematch against Republican Derek Merrin in a district that grew redder in last year's map redraw. The district was shifted from a Trump +7 seat to a Trump -11. Kaptu, who beat Merrin by less than one point last cycle with a libertarian on the ballot, has no libertarian candidate running this time. However, President Donald Trump's approval ratings are low in the district, where tariffs and high gas and diesel prices from the Iran war are significant issues. Since Sept. 1, the GOP has spent $12.6 million on ads, while Democrats have spent $8.3 million.
