Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who has served in the U.S. Congress representing Ohio's 9th District since 1983, recently expressed her views on social media regarding current legislative developments. Her tweets highlight concerns about transparency and the potential impacts of proposed fiscal policies.

On May 21, 2025, Rep. Kaptur criticized a decision to hold a vote during late hours by stating "They want to hold the vote in the dead of night to keep the American people in the dark. If it’s such a 'Big Beautiful Bill' then a few days of sunshine surely won’t hurt." This comment suggests that she believes more public scrutiny is necessary for significant legislative measures.

In another tweet posted on May 22, 2025, Rep. Kaptur addressed tax policy changes, saying "The Billionaire tax cut bonanza will not help you. It will cut critical programs that feed children, families, and seniors. 14 million across our country will lose healthcare coverage." She referred to these proposed tax cuts as "un-American" and urged reconsideration.

Later that day, she commented on federal budget priorities with another post: "Federal Budgets are moral documents. They tell the American people who we value, and who is left behind." She emphasized that this budget proposal would negatively affect healthcare access for many individuals both locally in NW Ohio and nationwide.

Rep. Marcy Kaptur was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1946 and continues to reside there today. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1968.
