Kucinich Could Face Kaptur in Ohio Democratic Primary

HeadlineSep 14, 2011

Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich has announced he is staying put in Ohio after state Republicans released plans on changes to his congressional district. Kucinich had long hinted at a run in Washington state if Republicans went ahead with a plan to drop his seat as part of redistricting. The Republican plan now creates a new district that includes around half of Kucinich’s old district and half of that of Democratic Congress Member Marcy Kaptur. Kucinich’s decision to stay means he could likely face Kaptur in a Democratic primary.
