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!

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.
