I wanted to make sure you saw my team’s update on the GOP’s efforts to carve up Ohio in their favor.
They really don’t try to hide their intentions: they are scheming to take the lion’s share of districts in a state that is evenly split between the two parties.

Team,
The Ohio GOP is determined to sow chaos in our race, in order to help their cronies Jim Jordan and Kevin McCarthy take back the House majority.
The Ohio Supreme Court rejected their latest gerrymandered map but scheduled opening arguments on hearings to redraw them for after the May 3 primary.
This means that the rejected, unconstitutional maps will be applied to this year’s election as if nothing is wrong. In a swing state that is fifty percent Democratic, eighty-seven percent of the Congressional seats are expected to be safely Republican.
Frankly, these maps do not do any favors for our campaign or for democracy. Marcy is losing key parts of her district that powered her to victory in the past and being dealt a Trump +3 district.
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur is a champion for the Midwest in Congress. She is focused on getting big money out of politics, holding Wall Street accountable, fighting against bad trade deals that harm workers, ensuring access to health care for all, and restoring our Great Lakes. Can you help Marcy by giving weekly?
