Marcy Kaptur didn't plan for this.
First elected in 1982, the Ohio Democrat didn't set out to become the longest-serving woman in House history.
"The reasons that I ran, to change certain practices and policies, [I thought] could be done much more quickly," she said in an interview with NPR. On Sunday, Kaptur becomes the longest-serving woman ever to serve in the chamber with a tenure that spans 35 years, two months and 15 days.
