What People Say About Them

“First elected in 1982, Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur is about as well-entrenched an incumbent as exists, but Ohio’s new district lines made her already red-leaning seat a hair more Republican (Trump +11). Yet she is a 7 in 10 favorite in her rematch against Republican Derek Merrin, whom Kaptur narrowly defeated in 2024.” — Geoffrey Skelley on Marcy Kaptur, Decision Desk HQ
