2026年选举周期中最脆弱的众议院民主党议员之一，因针对跨性别青少年的立场同时遭到左右两派抨击。
资深联邦众议员、来自俄亥俄州的民主党人玛西·卡普特正面临其职业生涯中最艰难的连任竞选之一，部分原因是该州共和党人重新划分了选区边界，将更多共和党选民纳入其选区。
此举似乎是为了争取这些选民的支持，卡普特最近寄出了宣传邮件，宣扬她反对生理男性参加女子校队体育赛事的立场。福克斯新闻数字频道获得的竞选邮寄广告中写道：“与极左翼不同，我认为男孩不应该参加女孩的体育赛事。”
另一方则指出，卡普特“曾投票禁止学校在课堂上宣扬性别意识形态”。
弱势民主党议员在中期选举临近之际就女子体育法案立场反转，此前曾反对类似法案
俄亥俄州温和派民主党人卡普特提到了她今年5月对《阻止灌输思想并保护儿童法案》的投票。该法案将联邦中小学拨款与学校在为学生提供任何性别相关便利前获得家长同意挂钩。
强大的LGBTQ团体背书可能让弱势民主党人因激进的青少年跨性别议程受损
她在一则竞选广告中也提到了这次投票，她表示：“我与共和党人一起投票，将跨性别意识形态挡在校门之外，因为父母最了解自己的孩子。而且男孩不应该参加女孩的体育赛事。”
不过，众议院共和党竞选机构指出，卡普特同时也是《平等法案》的支持者。该法案于2025年4月提出，其中包含禁止公立学校基于性取向或性别认同进行歧视的条款。卡普特是该法案的共同发起人。

弱势民主党人的竞选主张与其在重大文化战争议题上的“激进”投票记录相悖
她还在2023年4月和2025年1月两次投票反对共和党提出的《保护妇女和女孩体育法案》。2023年的那次投票没有任何民主党议员支持，而去年的投票中有两名民主党议员与共和党人一同投了赞成票。
“走投无路的民主党人玛西·卡普特的谎言无法抹去她的激进记录。卡普特正在进行危机公关，她必须不再担任《平等法案》的共同发起人，否认自己此前的投票立场，否则就从宣传中撤下这些谎言，”美国全国共和党国会委员会发言人扎克·班农告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
这种立场也给卡普特在另一阵营带来了政治麻烦。
俄亥俄州的进步人士指责卡普特为了竞选加分而将跨性别青少年当作牺牲品。LGBTQ维权团体“俄亥俄平等组织”给卡普特打出了“D”级评级，理由是其“最近发布了反跨性别广告”。
卢卡斯县石墙民主党人在致卡普特的公开信中写道：“你和你的竞选团队居然推行这种极具危害性的反跨性别言论，真是可耻。”

LGBTQ新闻网站《俄亥俄火焰报》的一篇专栏文章写道：“作为一名27岁的专职记者，我每天都在挑战压迫、审视恐跨言论，看到卡普特众议员的名字出现在我的工作履历上，我感到羞耻。我已经把她的名字从上面移除了。”
卡普特此前曾多次挺过共和党人重新划分选区的企图，在其位于托莱多地区的选区任职超过40年。

但在这个双方都需要调动选民基础的选举周期，她在该议题上的立场会产生何种影响尚不明朗。福克斯新闻数字频道联系了卡普特的竞选团队，但未得到回复。

Imperiled House Democrat gets ripped by left and right after flip-flop on transgender sports

Rep Marcy Kaptur’s anti-trans sports ads drew progressive backlash, while Republicans call them ‘lies’

One of the most vulnerable House Democrats of the 2026 election cycle is being hammered from the left and right for her stance on transgender youth.
Longtime Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, is facing one of her toughest re-election battles yet, partially thanks to Buckeye State Republicans redrawing the boundaries of her district to include more GOP voters.
In what appears to be an appeal to those voters, Kaptur recently sent out mailers touting her opposition to biological males playing on girls’ school sports teams. “Unlike the far left, I believe boys shouldn’t play girls’ sports,” the mailed campaign ad, obtained by Fox News Digital, said.
The other side touted that Kaptur “voted to ban schools from touting gender ideology in classrooms.”
VULNERABLE DEMOCRATS FLIP ON WOMEN’S SPORTS VOTE AFTER OPPOSING SIMILAR BILLS AS MIDTERMS LOOM

The moderate Ohio Democrat was referring to her vote in May of this year in favor of the Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act, which would condition federal funding to public elementary and middle schools on those schools obtaining parents’ permission before any sex or gender accommodations for students are made.
POWERFUL LGBTQ+ GROUP’S ENDORSEMENTS COULD TANK VULNERABLE DEMS OVER RADICAL YOUTH TRANS AGENDA
She also referenced that vote in a campaign ad, in which she said, “I voted with Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of our schools, because parents know best for their kids. And boys should not play in girls’ sports.”
House Republicans’ campaign arm pointed out, however, that Kaptur is also a supporter of the Equality Act. That bill, introduced in April 2025, includes language to prohibit public schools from discriminating based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Kaptur is a co-sponsor of the bill.

VULNERABLE DEM’S CAMPAIGN PITCH CLASHES WITH ‘RADICAL’ VOTING RECORD ON TOP CULTURE WAR ISSUE
She also voted against the GOP-led Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in April 2023 and January 2025. The former instance received no Democratic support, while two Democrats voted with Republicans on the bill last year.
“Lies from desperate Democrat Marcy Kaptur can’t erase her radical record. Kaptur is in damage control, and she must remove herself as a co-sponsor of the Equality Act and disavow her previous votes or remove her lies from the airwaves,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Zach Bannon told Fox News Digital.
That stance is creating political headaches for Kaptur on the other side of the aisle, as well.
Ohio progressives are accusing Kaptur of throwing transgender kids under the bus to score electoral points. LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Ohio graded Kaptur a “D” for having “recently released anti-trans ads.”
Lucas County Stonewall Democrats wrote in an open letter to Kaptur, “Shame on you and your campaign staff for pushing this incredibly harmful anti-Trans rhetoric.”

And an opinion piece in the Buckeye Flame, an LGBTQ news site, stated, “[A]s a 27-year-old working journalist who challenges oppression and interrogates transphobia daily, I am embarrassed at Rep. Kaptur’s name on my resume. So much so that I removed it.”
Kaptur has survived prior redistricting bids by Republicans to serve her Toledo-area district for over four decades.

But in an election cycle where turning out the base matters to both sides, it’s not clear what kind of effect her position on the issue will have. Fox News Digital reached out to Kaptur’s campaign but did not receive a response.
