COLUMBUS, Ohio—Veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur defeated longtime Washington colleague Dennis Kucinich Tuesday in a bruising Ohio showdown made necessary by a newly drawn congressional map.
She will face the winner of the Republican primary — Samuel “Joe” Wurzelbacher, who became known as “Joe the Plumber” during the 2008 presidential campaign — in November.
Kaptur is in her 15th term representing the Toledo area. She ran a campaign that emphasized her record of bringing federal money and projects back to the state.
In a concession speech just past midnight, a bitter Kucinich described Kaptur’s campaign as “lacking in integrity, filled with false truths.”
