4/5

I hope that this new path lights the way toward a two-state solution for all who inhabit this war torn region. It is my hope that these first steps towards a lasting peace, will be built upon and turned into a permanent negotiated truce.

3/5

We have finally reached a ceasefire that the public has been pleading for. While we cannot undo what has been done, and the tens of thousands of Palestinian lives lost, nor the horrors of the brutal October 7 attack by Hamas, we see a new path forward.

2/5

We still do not know all the details of how this agreement will be implemented and what it will take to hold. However, these first steps are encouraging and allow people who have lived in fear, while caught in this prolonged war, a respite from bombing and horror. We share our thanks with all leaders and states both at home and abroad who played a role in getting us to this point today.

Today I released the following statement on the agreement that has been reached between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire, and release of hostages, some of whom have already returned home. 1/5

Today, we are grateful for a ceasefire and pause in fighting in Gaza after more than two years of bloodshed. With an apparent agreement reached we also are very grateful for the release of all living hostages of the October 7 attack against Israel, as well as those in Israeli captivity who will return home to Gaza or the West Bank.

Grateful to participate in the Apple Festival Parade yesterday in Oak Harbor. Traditions like this exemplify the heart of our communities across NW Ohio. Great to see so many friends new, and old, and partake in this time honored annual Ottawa County celebration.

Great day in Oak Harbor honoring local Boy Scout Troop 316 scoutmaster Roger Carpenter for his 75 years of service. Great to see so many friends, enjoy the festivities, and meet so many scouts who have been impacted by Roger’s dedication over the years.

These indiscriminate federal firings by the Trump Administration will harm constituents in my district, and other communities like mine without saving a dollar for taxpayers. It's just more evidence of bad faith as Americans stare at exploding health costs and our military risking missed paychecks.

Israeli Government Approves Hostage Deal Setting a Cease-Fire in Gaza

The deal promises to free the hostages and pause the fighting for the first time since March. The U.S. is sending about 200 troops to Israel to support the cease-fire as part of an international team.

Marcy Kaptur@repmarcykaptur.bsky.socialOct 10(source)

With hostages returned and humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza, we hope that an era of calm and peace for those that inhabit this region is on the horizon. We watch for new leaders to emerge and secure this peace, while thanking all states and leaders who helped to bring about this resolution.

If you are struggling, know you are not alone. Resources are available across NW Ohio, and you can always get help by dialing 988. Together, we create a community where no one feels alone.

A senior couple earning $82,800 a year could face a 236% increase in their premiums. A family of four earning $64,000 a year could face a 226% increase in their premiums. People will lose their health insurance, or It will become unaffordable. This is a life and death issue in Ohio.

Why is Speaker Johnson refusing to call the House back in to session to pay our troops, and negotiate a solution to save healthcare and open government? This military spouse is not alone, and we need to act to help her and all those we represent. The clock is ticking Mr. Speaker.

Rural Ohio families are paying the price for federal policy chaos. The shutdown threatens farmers’ livelihoods and rural hospitals, all to raise health insurance costs by nearly 90%. Our communities need stability, not games with people’s health and tariffs making it even worse.

It's long past time to turn down the temperature. Religious leaders facing violence for peaceful protest should be a wake up call — this is not normal, and it's unAmerican.

Happy Polish American Heritage Month, and what better day to celebrate than #NationalPierogiDay! From Żnin to Toledo, our stories are woven with hard work, faith, and family. I’m proud to honor my own roots and all who keep Polish traditions alive here in NW Ohio and across America. Sto lat!

It has been 2 years since the horrific Hamas October 7 attack on Israel. Today we remember innocent lives lost, and those still unable to return home. This devastating war must come to an end, with aid delivered to those suffering and meaningful work towards a two state solution.

Live updates: Two-year anniversary of Hamas-led attack on Israel falls during Gaza truce negotiations

Early on Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led fighters launched a multi-pronged terrorist attack on Israel. The resulting war in Gaza has created a humanitarian catastrophe.

New 25% tariffs on trucks taking effect on November 1 will hit NW Ohio hard. Our region’s suppliers, parts makers, and logistics workers depend on stable trade with our largest fair trading partner to the north, Canada. Trump's reckless tariffs risk Ohio jobs and raise costs for our families.

Trump Says US Tariffs on Heavy Truck Imports to Begin Nov. 1

President Donald Trump said 25% duties on medium- and heavy-duty trucks would begin Nov. 1, the latest expansion of his tariff regime aimed at protecting domestic industries.

Hundreds of thousands of workers are being locked out of their livelihoods while critical infrastructure is held hostage by the Trump Administration. Every project canceled or delayed means families without paychecks and progress put on hold. Working people built America—we need to have their back.
