New Maps Challenge Kaptur. And Yet She Persists!

If you're not from the OH-09, you may not know Kaptur well. If not, this article on Barnraiser raises her cred well above the hay mow, i.e. the rural voters who've been added to her district, but noting she's also always been strong with urban working class, unions and more.

An excerpt: 
Kaptur’s name carries weight in Toledo and across the region. Covering Kaptur’s reelection for HuffPost in 2022, I wrote that she was “basically royalty” at Toledo’s Labor Day Parade, where Kaptur rode along the route in a vintage, cherry-red Chevy Impala. As a staunch supporter of organized labor, Kaptur is known for rejecting the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, which she predicted would offshore jobs and decimate domestic manufacturing. Two years later, after burnishing a national reputation as a free-trade skeptic, she declined an offer to join Ross Perot’s presidential ticket. “Some people have watched her on the news their entire lives,” Chris Liebold, a Democratic official in Sandusky County, southeast of Toledo, told me.
