Beschreibung | Marcia Carolyn Kaptur (/ˈkæptər/; born June 17, 1946) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Ohio's 9th congressional district since 1983. A member of the Democratic Party, Kaptur is the longest-serving woman in either chamber of Congress, and the second-longest-serving woman in Congressional history, behind Barbara Mikulski, whose record she will beat upon being sworn into the 118th United States Congress. Her district stretches from her hometown of Toledo east to Cleveland, including all of Ottawa and Erie counties, and parts of Lucas, Lorain, and Cuyahoga counties. |
