WASHINGTON D.C. — Foreign Policy for America announced today its endorsement of Representative Marcy Kaptur for re-election. Representative Kaptur is member of the House Appropriations Committee where she serves as Chair of the Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development and Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. 

“Marcy Kaptur has devoted her entire career to fighting for the interests of working Ohioans – and she’s delivered” said Andrew Albertson, Executive Director of Foreign Policy for America. “As Co-Chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, she’s been a leader in the effort to help Ukraine defend its democracy in the face of Russia’s horrific invasion. I have tremendous respect for Rep. Kaptur’s longstanding leadership in Congress, and we are very proud to endorse her today.”
