Ohio's 9th congressional district

There are a couple of other districts that are worth discussing.

White working class, non-college educated districts like the Ohio 9th in Toledo.

The incumbent there is a Democrat named Marcy Kaptur.

She's running against Derek Marin.

So we have Democrat incumbent Marcy Kaptur running against Republican Derek Marin.

And so in the redistricting that happened last year, Marcy's district, District 9, got more gerrymandered than it already was.

And so it made it a harder district for a Democrat to win.

So if you're in Northwest Ohio, like Marcy needs your help.

But what happened and what the Sandusky Register alleged and proved is that he is someone who has donated to the Derek Marin campaign.

And then ran as a libertarian to block a libertarian voice from the Ohio 9th.

And so he ran and he won and to the tune of hundreds of votes and nobody, nobody saw it coming.

And all the devil is in the detail is in the data.

And you can look up the May 5th primary in Toledo, Ohio, for the Ohio 9th.

And you cannot see, obviously, who people vote for, but you can see what party they pulled a ballot to.

And we saw a whole slew of Republicans participating in the Libertarian primary.

The party is disallowed from replacing him with me or anybody or any...

We'll give you a signal whether or not, you know, some of these Doge things, how the Iran war is playing, these sorts of things.

730 Ohio, 9th District, Marshy Captor out of Toledo.

She's in a Trump plus 11 district now after it's been redrawn.

We'll find out how much redistricting impact has had in that area.

And there was a long line of people today that were actually present to vote early.

And so that suggests that things might be a little bit different in Ohio 9 this year.

That's interesting.

Colin, you tend to spend a bit more time in the statehouse.

By having the governor's race and the Senate race on the ballot, it's gonna generate that turnout down to the congressional races as well.

We have my race in Ohio District 1 in Cincinnati, and also Ohio District 9 in Toledo was redrawn as well.

Uh, and as people are really starting to hear about the great successes and as we advertise a lot of those great successes of the administration over the last really two years, whether that includes a secure border, no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, uh, we really think that Republicans will turn out to vote and, and we will get those numbers that we need.

Yeah, a lot of the things are circulating around.

Good.

Ohio's 9th District, Marcy Kaptur, a perennial Republican target, the Democrat incumbent versus Derek Merrin.

You've had this one lean Republican for weeks.

Last week you moved it to a, a toss-up out of an abundance of caution.

that guy in?

Ohio 9.

Ohio 9.

That's right.

Derek did a great speech.
