Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, who represents Ohio’s 9th district in the U.S. Congress, recently posted a series of messages on her social media account reflecting on community events and notable figures.
On September 22, 2025, Kaptur paid tribute to a late colleague, stating, "Congresswoman Mary Rose Oakar brought intellect, joy, wit, keen insight, kindness, and dynamism to every occasion. Her heart of gold was truly one of a kind. It was an honor to reflect on her service last week after news of her passing."
Later that day, she addressed Jewish communities celebrating Rosh Hashanah: "As Jewish communities in NW Ohio, across the Buckeye State, throughout our country, and around the globe begin Rosh Hashanah celebrations tonight, let this time spent with family bring you closer together. Wishing you all sweet tidings for a happy and healthy New Year to come."
On September 23, 2025, Kaptur highlighted the significance of public lands in northwest Ohio: "NW Ohio is blessed with extraordinary public lands that honor our history. From the hallowed grounds of Fallen Timbers to the wetlands of Ottawa Refuge, these places connect us to our past and sustain our communities. On National Public Lands Day, we recommit to protecting these"
Kaptur has represented Ohio’s 9th District since 1983 after succeeding Ed Weber. She was born in Toledo in 1946 and continues to reside there. Kaptur earned her BA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1968.
