Toledo, Ohio – U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur bid goodbye to political foe, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, before the votes were counted and her victory was sealed Tuesday night.

“I want to thank him for a spirited campaign,” Kaptur said to 100 supporters at a gathering here in a downtown union hall. “He wants to help our country, too, and I know that he will find a way to do that.”
