NRCC Statement on VP Vance’s Visit to OH-09

January 22, 2026

If you’re covering Vice President JD Vance’s visit in Toledo today, please consider the following statement:

“Out of touch Marcy Kaptur has failed Northwest Ohio, putting her radical agenda ahead of common sense for over 40 years. While Republicans work to fix the disastrous consequences of the Biden administration, Kaptur continues to block progress by voting to raise taxes, defund the police, and let men compete in women’s sports.” — NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon

BACKGROUND

  • Vice President JD Vance previously torched Democrat Marcy Kaptur at a steel plant in Ohio for her failure to support the largest tax cut in generations, no tax on tips, and no tax on overtime.
