Ohio FOP endorses Kaptur for Congress
For the first time in recent history, the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police is weighing in on the 9th District race, throwing its support behind U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo). “We feel strongly that she’s the candidate who will best represent our members in Washington,” said Jay McDonald, the president of Ohio’s FOP. The Ohio FOP is the largest law enforcement organization in Ohio. While it hasn’t endorsed a candidate for the 9th District in recent years, Mr. McDonald said the organization decided to endorse Ms. Kaptur this year because of her long history of supporting labor unions and her support of the Social Security Fairness Act. The act would prevent the reduction of Social Security benefits for spouses, widows, and widowers who already receive other benefits, such as a government pension. It would also prevent the reduction of Social Security benefits for people who receive a pension benefit from an employer that did not withhold Social Security taxes. The bill is currently held up in committee.
