Republicans tout common sense agenda at Lucas County rally

Perrysburg resident Rick Mens said he thinks voters are “waking up” and will retire the longest-serving woman in Congress next week. “We can’t have the Democrats win on Tuesday,” Mr. Mens said. “Marcy is a nice person, but she has got to go.” Mr. Mens, a Republican, spent his Friday night at Brennan Equipment Services in Holland, where he joined about 100 other people in supporting the Republican statewide ticket. The crowd was a sea of multicolored signs: red for gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, white for U.S. Sen. Jon Husted (R., Ohio), and blue for former state Rep. Derek Merrin. The Perrysburg resident said he has voted for U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) before but stopped about 30 years ago over policies she was supporting. After 43 years, he said he hasn’t really seen Ms. Kaptur deliver for the district and thinks it is time for someone new to represent northwest Ohio in Congress. “I’ve met Marcy for my job,” Mr. Mens said. “She’s a very nice lady, but she’s just sitting in Congress, and she really isn’t doing anything.” Ms. Kaptur is seeking re-election in a competitive campaign against Mr. Merrin, the Republican nominee.

Region awarded $2.2M to support transportation safety plans

Four northwest Ohio counties were awarded federal grants totaling $2.2 million to plan and implement several transportation safety efforts. Congressman Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) announced Friday that Lucas, Ottawa, Wood, and Sandusky counties received grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation to institute a real-time railroad crossing information system integrated with 911 dispatch, conduct road safety audits, measure crash data, and assess agricultural vehicle conflicts. “This award improves more than just infrastructure — it protects lives and provides for thoughtful study and analysis of transportation issues that affect our entire region,” Ms. Kaptur said. “By working together with federal investments, our local communities are better equipped to deliver actionable change and identify future opportunities for growth.” The federal Safe Streets and Roads for All program funds critical projects across the nation that prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Sandusky County Engineer Carlos Baez said the funding will help improve roads in rural areas. "Our county’s two-lane roads often have narrow shoulders, sharp curves, and limited lighting, and those conditions contribute to serious and fatal crashes. These funds will let us identify proven safety measures at places where they’re needed most, so farmers, commuters, school buses, and families can all get
