Kaptur Joins Bipartisan Ohio Delegation Letter Advocating for NASA HQ to Relocate to Northern Ohio

WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09) joined Congressman Max Miller (OH-07), Senator Jon Husted (R-OH), and other members of the Ohio Congressional Delegation in sending a letter to Vice President JD Vance and NASA Administrator Designate Jared Isaacman, highlighting a significant opportunity to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency, and fiscal responsibility of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) by relocating NASA Headquarters from Washington, DC to Northern Ohio. 

“The incoming administration has signaled a commitment to reshaping the federal workforce by moving administrative agencies out of Washington, DC, promoting a return-to-office culture, and improving government efficiency. A relocation of NASA HQ aligns with these objectives by encouraging in-person collaboration while reducing unnecessary federal overhead costs,” wrote the Ohio delegation. 

“Ohio is the historical home of aviation and ideally suited to lead NASA into the next frontier of both Aeronautics functions and Space Exploration as you lead this agency through its remarkable transformation,” the letter continued.
