In a tweet posted on June 7 at 16:17 UTC, Rep. Kaptur celebrated National Trails Day by highlighting the natural beauty and significance of Toledo Metroparks in Northwest Ohio. She noted that this park system is one of the nation's best, with features such as the Oak Openings savanna and Howard Marsh wetlands.

NW Ohio is home to one of the nation’s best park systems—Toledo Metroparks."

Later that day, at 21:57 UTC, Rep. Kaptur drew attention to CPR awareness during CPR Week. She highlighted a significant statistic that "70% of cardiac arrests happen at home" and encouraged individuals to find a local CPR class to become lifesavers within their communities. Her call was for building a "Nation of Lifesavers," urging participation in life-saving training programs."70% of cardiac arrests happen at home — it could be your child, spouse, or loved one."

At 22:13 UTC on the same day, Rep. Kaptur voiced her support for Job Corps, an initiative aimed at providing education and job training to at-risk youth. She mentioned joining 198 colleagues in urging the Department of Labor to maintain this program due to its transformative impact on young lives across Northwest Ohio."Job Corps gives at-risk youth a path to success through education and job training." This appeal highlights her commitment to supporting educational opportunities for disadvantaged groups.
