Marcy Kaptur
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide K000009.
Marcy Kaptur is the Democrat representative for the House from OH, district 9 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is -0.340, drawn as economics -34. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.140, drawn as authority +14. The other axis sits near the middle. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 140 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is right of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Joseph D. Morelle (Democrat, -0.331), Pete Aguilar (Democrat, -0.328), Mike Levin (Democrat, -0.323). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://kaptur.house.gov), under “Campaign Finance Reform,” says: “Out-of-control campaign spending has reached a truly dangerous level in our country. Our country's very future is at risk unless we achieve…” Those are the member’s words. They are not the same thing as the roll-call score.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Marcy Kaptur would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide K000009.
