Republican candidate for Ohio's 9th Congressional District, Samuel Wurzelbacher, spoke to WNWO after his loss to Democratic incumbent Rep. Marcy Kaptur.

Wurzelbacher, better known as "Joe the Plumber," only garnered about 24 percent of the vote.

He said he intend to advocate for veterans and use his notoriety from this campaign to help others, no matter their party affiliation.
