Incumbent Marcy Kaptur (D) defeated J.R. Majewski (R) in the general election for Ohio's 9th Congressional District on November 8, 2022.
The partisan composition of the 9th District changed following redistricting after the 2020 census. President Joe Biden (D) defeated former President Donald Trump (R) in the old 9th District, 59% to 40%. Trump would have defeated Biden in the redrawn 9th District, 51% to 48%, making it one of 13 U.S. House districts Democrats were defending that Trump won in 2020.
Kaptur, first elected in 1982, said strengthening the economy was her top priority, saying, "unfair trade agreements, Wall Street recklessness, and federal policies favoring large corporations and the wealthy have decimated America's middle-class ... It's time to put people first again."[1]
Majewski worked in the nuclear industry in project management positions.[2] In a Candidate Connection survey submitted to Ballotpedia, Majewski described himself as "the America First Candidate" and said he would "Bring back good paying American jobs ... Maintain a strong national defense and stop the endless wars."[3] Read his full responses here.
On Sept. 22, 2022, the Associated Press reported that Majewski allegedly misrepresented his military service record and did not receive a combat medal. Majewski served in the U.S. Air Force from 1999 to 2003, during which time he said he had been deployed to and saw combat in Afghanistan.[4][5] Majewski later said his work involved flying to and from Afghanistan to deliver supplies, saying, "I was in multiple bases in Afghanistan ... It’s almost impossible for me to tell you where I was and on what day. That’s why my orders are listed as a classified location."[6] Learn more here.

However, I believe that this is a band-aid over a wound that requires stitches and that other reforms in areas such as campaign financing, would be a better means to meet this intent. We must restore competition as a means to gain office, not money and political relationships. If anyone could run for office, without being a millionaire as a prerequisite, competition would course correct the challenge of life long politicians.

Election competitiveness
Polls
Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[8] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[9] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here.

Noteworthy events
Associated Press reporting on Majewski's military service record
On Sept. 22, 2022, the Associated Press' Brian Slodysko and James Laporta released military service records obtained through a public record request that contradicted statements Majewski had made about his experience in the armed services.[4]
Majewski, who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1999 to 2003, claimed that, during that time, he had been deployed to and saw combat in Afghanistan.[4][5]
According to the service records, Majewski did not receive a combat medal and his only overseas deployment was to Qatar from May to November 2002, where he worked as a passenger operations specialist, loading and unloading aircraft.[19][5]
Majewski later said his work involved flying to and from Afghanistan to deliver supplies, saying, "I was in multiple bases in Afghanistan ... It’s almost impossible for me to tell you where I was and on what day. That’s why my orders are listed as a classified location."[6]
The Associated Press wrote that Majewski's later statements "amounted to a far less robust description of what he says he did in the country. Majewski previously said he was deployed to the country, a term which refers to orders assigning servicemembers to a specific base or location."[6]
Following these revelations, the National Republican Congressional Committee, the Republican Party's primary political committee in U.S. House campaigns, canceled the television ad schedules it had reserved to support Majewski in the final six weeks of the campaign.[20]
Kaptur said, "J.R. Majewski owes a full explanation of his deception," and later released a campaign ad saying, "When he lies about his deployment, he disrespects everyone who's proudly worn our nation's uniform."[21][22]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Ohio in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 6, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
In 2022, 70 candidates filed to run for Ohio’s 15 U.S. House districts, including 39 Republicans, 29 Democrats, and two independents. That's 4.7 candidates per district, more than the 4.4 candidates per district in 2020 and fewer than the 5.5 in 2018.
This was the first candidate filing deadline under new district lines adopted as part of Ohio's decennial redistricting process. Ohio was apportioned 15 seats in the House of Representatives, one less than it received after the 2010 census. The Ohio Redistricting Commission approved a redrawn congressional map on March 2 in a 5-2 vote along party lines. On March 18, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to overturn the map as part of the legal challenge that overturned the initial congressional map.
Two incumbents announced their departures from the House. Rep. Bob Gibbs (R) originally filed for re-election, but announced on April 6 that he would instead retire, though his name would remain on the ballot. Rep. Tim Ryan (D) chose to run for election to the U.S. Senate instead of seeking re-election. In the race to replace Ryan, seven candidates filed to seek the Republican nomination with the winner facing state Rep. and former House minority leader Emilia Sykes (D), who drew no primary challengers.
In all, candidate filings created 19 contested U.S. House primaries—10 Republicans and nine Democratic. Six incumbents seeking re-election drew no primary challengers. At the time of the filing deadline, all 15 districts were set to be contested in the general election with at least one Democrat and Republican filing in each.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+3. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 3 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Ohio's 9th the 202nd most Republican district nationally.[25]
2020 presidential election results
