Rep. Marcy Kaptur, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Ohio's 9th district, recently shared a series of statements on social media addressing various issues from financial authority to international tariffs and internship opportunities. Her comments reflect ongoing political discussions and provide insights into her legislative focus.

On January 31, 2025, Rep. Kaptur commented on Elon Musk's influence over government transactions by stating that "Elon Musk — the world’s richest man — does not possess the legal authority nor standing to interfere with the @USTreasury Department’s significant transactions."

In a tweet dated February 2, 2025, she addressed economic concerns related to tariffs imposed by former President Trump: "The 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, and 10% additional tariffs President Trump ordered will hurt Ohio energy sector workers and raise costs for the average American family anywhere from $2500-$7600 annually. Make no mistake—this is entirely avoidable—and we will all pay for it."

Further engaging with her constituents and future public servants, Rep. Kaptur announced an opportunity for young individuals interested in public service on February 3, 2025: "We are currently accepting applications for the Summer 2025 internship cohort in our DC Office. Looking for hardworking, bright individuals that want to gain invaluable experience working in public service—apply by February 21st! You can find more info at: https://t.co/qkcUX6hl2f"
