Merrin Secures GOP Nomination in Ohio’s Battleground 9th District
TL;DR
Former ICE deputy Madison Sheahan lost the Ohio 9th District GOP primary to Derek Merrin, who will run against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur in November. The seat is a top GOP pickup opportunity after map redraws, but Kaptur holds a cash edge and both parties are expected to invest heavily; Merrin previously came within a point of defeating Kaptur in 2024.
