TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Republicans in Ohio are hoping to end the career of the longest-serving woman in U.S. House history in Tuesday’s congressional elections. Democrat Marcy Kaptur is facing a challenge from Republican first-time candidate J.R. Majewski in a reconfigured congressional district that’s considered a political toss-up. He’s been forced to defend himself since The Associated Press reported in September that he had misrepresented key elements of his military service. One of former President Donald Trump’s closest allies, Jim Jordan, won a ninth term. But Democrats are hoping to pick off longtime Ohio Republican House member Steve Chabot.
