Ohio Congresswoman sets mark for longest tenure by a woman

March 26, 2018

An Ohio congresswoman is now longest-serving woman in the history of the U.S. House. Democrat Marcy Kaptur set the mark for the longest tenure by a woman last week. She's now been in Congress just over 35 years, surpassing Edith Nourse Rogers, a Massachusetts Republican who served from 1925 until her death in 1960.
