Kaptur criticizes Trump Iran strikes, urges War Powers vote

Jul 16, 2026

The 30-second ad attacks Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur's re-election bid in Ohio's 9th district. It claims her ads portray her as fighting a 'disastrous war with Iran' and accuses her of being fine with Iran obtaining nuclear weapons and continuing to sponsor terrorism against Americans. The spot notes her 40-plus years in Congress and calls for voters to retire her. Kaptur, first elected in 1983, faces a rematch with Republican Derek Merrin in November 2026 after narrow wins in prior cycles. She has publicly criticized recent Trump administration military strikes on Iran and co-sponsored War Powers resolutions demanding congressional approval for hostilities.
