Representative Josh Williams, who serves Ohio's 9th Congressional District, recently shared updates on his activities and political outlook in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter).

On August 31, 2025, Williams summarized his engagements across the district: "From steel plants to veterans’ dinners, I spent this week meeting with leaders across OH-9:

Toured North Star Steel to discuss workforce development

Met with Fulton County elected leaders

Met with members of the Northwest Ohio Juvenile Detention Center Board

Attended https://t.co/bqnoOn0Guf"

The following day, September 1, 2025, he marked Labor Day by participating in a local parade and highlighting the contributions of skilled workers: "Happy Labor Day, OH-9!

Proud to walk in today’s Labor Day Parade with Carpenters Union Local 351.

From the line at Jeep to the skilled trades that keep our region strong—Northwest Ohio was built on the skill and grit of tradesmen and women. https://t.co/zuuVsr5HMM"

Later that same day, Williams reflected on recent election results and looked ahead to future contests: "Last election cycle we beat Marcy Kaptur by 6,600+ votes in our overlapping precincts, winning more than 70% of them.

That’s the momentum we’re carrying into 2026 to finally retire Kaptur. https://t.co/ghgbQ551og"

Josh Williams is a member of Congress representing northwest Ohio's 9th District. The area has historically been represented by Marcy Kaptur, one of the longest-serving women in U.S. House history. Williams' mention of beating Kaptur in overlapping precincts refers to results from the most recent election cycle and signals an ongoing effort to shift political control in the district ahead of upcoming elections.
