Rep. Marcy Kaptur, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Ohio’s 9th district since 1983, recently shared her thoughts on various issues through a series of tweets.

On June 6, 2025, Rep. Kaptur commemorated the anniversary of D-Day by honoring the Allied forces who participated in the Normandy landings during World War II. She stated, "On this D-Day anniversary, we remember 180,000 Allied heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy to free a world gripped by tyranny. Their courage reclaimed Liberty for the generations to come, and I carry their memory with me each and every day."

Later that day, she expressed support for Job Corps programs aimed at helping at-risk youth through education and job training. In her tweet from June 6, she mentioned joining nearly two hundred colleagues in urging continued support from the Department of Labor: "Job Corps gives at-risk youth a path to success through education and job training. I joined 198 colleagues urging the Department of Labor to keep this life-changing program running." She emphasized its importance in opening opportunities within communities across Northwest Ohio.

On June 7, Rep. Kaptur addressed concerns about potential repeals of clean energy tax credits and their economic implications for Ohio and America as a whole. She warned against losing significant investments if these credits were withdrawn: "If clean energy tax credits are repealed, Ohio loses Tens of Billions and America loses massive Private and Public investment." Her message underscored her desire to retain future jobs within Northwest Ohio rather than seeing them move overseas.

As a long-serving representative born in Toledo in 1946 and an alumna of the University of Wisconsin–Madison (BA '68), Marcy Kaptur continues to advocate for her constituents' interests on both local and national levels.
