2022 OH 09 – US House Race

The 9th district is based in Northwest Ohio, including Toledo and the western Lake Erie coast. The incumbent is Democrat Marcy Kaptur, who was re-elected with 63.1% of the vote in 2020.[1] She is running for re-election.

This district is included on the list of Democratic-held seats the National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting in 2022.[67] The seat was significantly changed due to redistricting, losing all of its territory in Lorain and Cuyahoga counties while picking up more territory in northwest Ohio. This turned the district from a safely Democratic seat to a competitive one.

The 13th district includes most of the Akron – Canton population corridor. The incumbent is Democrat Tim Ryan, who was re-elected with 52.5% in 2020. On April 26, 2021, Ryan announced that he would seek the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by two-term Senator Rob Portman.

This district is included on the list of Democratic-held seats the National Republican Congressional Committee is targeting in 2022. The seat was altered significantly due to redistricting, now including all of Summit County and switching out parts of the Mahoning Valley for Canton. Despite this, it remains a Democratic leaning swing seat.

    NPR’s Audie Cornish talks with Congressman Steve Chabot, a ranking member of the foreign affairs subcommittee overseeing Afghanistan, about Thursday’s bombings and President Biden’s speech.

    AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:

    President Biden spoke late this afternoon on the events in Afghanistan today. He called the fallen U.S. service people part of a great, noble company of heroes. He pledged the U.S. evacuation would continue, and he vowed to hunt down the group responsible for the suicide attacks. For more reaction, let’s bring in Congressman Steve Chabot. He’s a Republican from Ohio. He’s also a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. That’s a ranking member of the subcommittee overseeing Afghanistan as well.

    Welcome to the program.

    STEVE CHABOT: Thank you. Good evening.

    CORNISH: Recently, when you spoke with NPR, you called on President Biden to take responsibility for how events have been unfolding with this withdrawal process. Did you hear him do that in his address this afternoon?

    CHABOT: No. Once again, he’s basically putting the blame elsewhere. And I think the important thing to remember that in the last year and a half, we had not suffered one military – an American casualty. And today, in this chaotic debacle of a pullout, we suffered at least 13, in addition to that, obviously, the dozens and dozens of Afghans, mostly our allies, who were killed as well. So this was a tragic…
