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.[2] 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.
Kaptur was re-elected in 2022.[3]

A public records request by the Associated Press showed that Majewski worked for six months loading planes in Qatar but did not receive any medals given to those who served in Afghanistan, and the campaign did not confirm if he was ever there.[20]
