WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 24, 2014) - I am proud to stand united with my caucus co-chairs Reps. Jim Gerlach and Sander Levin today as we introduce the “Ukraine Security Assistance Act of 2014”. While the tragic crashing of MH17 certainly has brought the necessary condemnation of the world community, Ukraine and her people have been suffering for months at the hands of Russian-backed separatists and Russian aggressors. It is time for the United States to provide reasonable security assistance to Ukraine.
TOLEDO - (July 18, 2014) - My thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the families of those lost aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, and with the people of the Netherlands, Malaysia, and Ukraine as they confront this tragedy. Further, I join calls for an immediate ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 17, 2014) – Congresswoman Kaptur announced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) a $60,000 award to develop a green infrastructure plan to improve water quality and alleviate flooding pressure in Toledo’s Junction Avenue neighborhood.
"This is a big win for American-made steel and for American jobs here in the heartland," Congresswoman Kaptur said. "We know that American companies and American workers can compete in the global market—but the playing field must be level. End of story."
"We live in the most sustainable place on the planet," said Congresswoman Kaptur. "Nowhere does this much arable land adjoin this much fresh water."
