Rep. Marcy Kaptur, currently serving Ohio's 9th district in the U.S. Congress, has taken to social media to express her views on several pressing issues. Born in Toledo, Ohio, Kaptur, aged 76, has a long history in American politics, having served since 1983. Her experience is reflected in her latest statements, which focus on democratic integrity and economic policy.

On April 2, Kaptur praised Senator Cory Booker for his extended stand against perceived threats to democracy. In her tweet, she highlighted his commitment, stating that Booker's action was "more than a filibuster—it was a clarion call in the face of relentless attacks on our democracy." She expressed gratitude for his "courage and conviction" in representing the people's interests. The full tweet can be found here.

The following day, April 3, Kaptur criticized arbitrary tariffs, describing them as a "tax on American families" that negatively affect workers and manufacturers. These tariffs, she argued, endanger jobs particularly in Northwest Ohio and across the nation. She advocated for a "carefully calibrated trade policy" to avoid the risks of soaring prices and disrupted supply chains. Her complete statement is accessible here.

Kaptur also provided a link in another tweet to additional information, available here, further addressing related topics not covered in the text of her tweets.
