Kaptur Hosts Rossford City Councilwoman Rachel Morimoto-Tinney For Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s Joint Address To Congress
Washington, DC — On Thursday, April 11th Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) hosted Rossford City Councilwoman Rachel Morimoto-Tinney as her guest for Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s Joint Address to Congress. Congresswoman Kaptur was able to hear her family’s story, like that of many Japanese-Americans who survived unjust interment during World War II.
“I was honored to host Councilwoman Morimoto-Tinney for this occasion, so she could take in Prime Minister Kishida’s witty and inciteful remarks to Congress,” said Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. “We both appreciated his fond memories of his childhood in America, and his commitment to uphold a strong Japanese-American relationship which is so vital to global and regional security in the Indo-Pacific. I also want to thank Rachel for sharing her family’s story of the painful legacy of internment during World War II that her parents and family endured.”
