Incumbent Marcy Kaptur (D) and J.R. Majewski (R) are running in the general election for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District on November 8, 2022.
The partisan composition of the 9th District changed following redistricting after the 2020 census. Joe Biden (D) defeated Donald Trump (R) in the old 9th District, 59% to 40%. Trump defeated Biden in the redrawn 9th District 51% to 48%, making it one of 13 U.S. House districts Democrats are defending that Trump won in 2020.
Kaptur was first elected in 1982, making her the longest-tenured woman in the 117th Congress. Kaptur says strengthening the economy is her top priority, saying, “unfair trade agreements, Wall Street recklessness, and federal policies favoring large corporations and the wealthy have decimated America’s middle-class … It’s time to put people first again.”
