Congratulations on your win tonight Marcy Kaptur


We need to keep as many Democratic females in Congress as we can
Especially our progressive female Congresscritters.
I hope Marcy Kaptur wins in the General by a landslide - she will be running against the GOP candidate Joe the Plumber!


Marcy Kaptur's BIO:

Marcia Carolyn "Marcy" Kaptur (born June 17, 1946) is the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 9th congressional district, serving since 1983. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

She ranks 25th out of 435 members in seniority and serves on the powerful House Appropriations Committee. ... <SNIP>

Kaptur is a powerful voice for Ohio's Congressional delegation, I cannot wait to see her sworn in next year. Let's get to work!

It's tough when two good Democrats have to run against each other.

I wish them both luck in the future. They both have a lot to offer to our national discourse.
