Ohio congressional candidate Derek Merrin expressed strong confidence in his bid to flip the 9th District seat currently held by Marcy Kaptur, a Democrat who has been in office since 1983. Merrin, a Republican, criticized Kaptur as being one of the most liberal and ineffective members of Congress over the past four decades.
Highlighting his campaign's alignment with President Trump, Merrin stated that they have the President's support and are optimistic about winning the seat. He emphasized the goal of expanding the Republican majority in the U.S. House to better serve the American people by addressing issues such as lowering the cost of living, securing borders, and challenging the political establishment.
Merrin pointed out the rising costs of groceries, energy, and insurance as indicators of the need for change. He believes that voters are seeking a shift in leadership to address these concerns and bring about tangible improvements in their daily lives.
