Rep. Marcy Kaptur Becomes Longest-Serving Woman In U.S. House History

Ninth district congressional Representative Marcy Kaptur, who first took office in 1983, is now the longest serving woman in the history of the U.S. House. She broke that record this month, having served more than 12,850 days. And she shows no sign of slowing down.

In a wide ranging interview, the legislator who represents both Toledo and parts of greater Cleveland broached topics covering gun control, opioids, gerrymandering and international trade.
