Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who represents Ohio’s 9th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of tweets on July 31 and August 1, 2025, raising concerns about recent legislative actions and economic developments under President Trump’s administration.

On July 31, Kaptur criticized proposed legislation, writing, "He said the quiet part out loud — not only does the Big Bonanza for Billionaires Bill kick millions off health care, and take food off tables — it’s also a back door deal to privatize Social Security. They are stealing your hard earned benefits to give tax breaks to Billionaires!" (July 31, 2025).

The following day, she commented on new employment data: "This jobs report is deeply concerning. I fear what President Trump is doing to discourage business investment, abandon manufacturers, and raise costs will hit our region hardest. Everyday Americans suffer under tariff tax increases on goods they buy while the ultra wealthy get" (August 1, 2025).

Later that same day, Kaptur addressed the issue of domestic solar manufacturing: "While the Trump Administration seems intent to kill domestic solar manufacturing and send those jobs to China, I am using every tool at my disposal to keep jobs in NW Ohio." (August 1, 2025).

Marcy Kaptur has represented Ohio's 9th District since replacing Ed Weber in Congress in 1983. She was born in Toledo in 1946 and continues to reside there at age 76. Kaptur graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a BA in 1968.
