Majewski suspends campaign.

The weekend suspension of a troubled congressional campaign in northwest Ohio has eased the minds of establishment Republicans hopeful they can flip a Democratic seat this fall by defeating the longest-serving woman in Congress. Erstwhile Republican candidate J.R. Majewski paused his campaign Saturday, just three days after he had insisted he was staying in the race for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District. The about-face was the latest turn in a roller coaster of a GOP primary for the seat long held by Democratic congresswoman, Marcy Kaptur, 77, who has served in Congress since 1983. She is viewed as being among the nation’s most vulnerable House Democrats this year. She also beat Majewski by 13 points, two years ago.
