Kate Schroder in Ohio among Democratic challengers squelching GOP hopes for the House
Kate Schroder is a nightmare for House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.): She's a 47-year-old political newcomer who has a real chance to knock off an entrenched Republican congressman in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Schroder is one of the stars of a surprisingly strong collection of Democratic challengers in Republican-held seats. Republican hopes of recapturing control of the House are fading fast.
Schroder began to run last year for the seat held by 12-term, 67-year-old incumbent, Steve Chabot, in a Republican gerrymandered district. A public health expert and cancer survivor, she focused on expanding health care coverage and keeping Obamacare protections for people with pre-existing conditions, which the Trump administration and her opponent have opposed.
The pandemic has elevated her profile and passion: "I don't have to explain the importance of public health," she told me.
