Sheahan highlighted how, during her time at ICE, the agency recruited 12,000 new agents and officers and deported over 2.5 million illegal aliens.
She slammed Kaptur for voting against funding the border wall while sending taxpayer handouts to illegal aliens. Kaptur also supported higher taxes on American citizens, including voting to keep taxes on Social Security, tips, and overtime, Sheahan stated.
“I’m tired of watching my hardworking family, friends, and neighbors pay more and get ignored,” Sheahan continued. “Real change means real leadership. And I’ve done it before.”

Kaptur’s campaign responded to Sheahan’s announcement, telling WTOL, “While Republicans from near and far will fight through a messy primary in this district they gerrymandered again just this fall, Congresswoman Kaptur is focused on delivering real results for her constituents.”
“She’s working to lower costs for working families, protect access to affordable health care, and bring transformative investments to Northwest Ohio,” the statement continued. “Voters are tired of the self-dealing corruption and culture of lawlessness they’ve seen over the last year. They want a leader focused on affordability and real results, and Marcy Kaptur consistently works across the aisle to deliver both.”
Several Republican candidates are running for Ohio’s 9th congressional district.
