JOB DESCRIPTION

About the Candidate:

Rep. Marcy Kaptur represents Ohio’s 9th Congressional District. The daughter of a Polish-American working class family in Toledo, Marcy’s life and service mirror her district, where she has spent her career delivering for the people of Northwest Ohio.

In October 2025, The Ohio Redistricting Commission adopted a new congressional map, making OH-09 more favorable to Republicans. However, Marcy’s history of overperformance in this R+5 PVI district gives her every chance of beating the odds once again.
