Later that day, she described her participation in a meal-packing event benefiting children across Northwest Ohio communities.

Addressing social issues on September 8, 2025, Kaptur condemned remarks related to domestic violence: "We cannot allow ourselves to let this kind of speech or thinking to become normalized.
