Dennis Kucinich To Run For Congress Again!

The same old song. Dennis Kucinich announced he will run as an independent instead of a libertarian for Ohio's 7th Congressional District.

Former Ohio lawmaker and two time presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich announce his intention to run for Congress against incumbent Rep. Max Miller (R-OH).

He will run as an independent. He is a left leaning libertarian who was once a Democrat.

Kucinich is expected to formally announce his candidacy on Jan. 24 in Independence.

Miller is a freshman lawmaker who won his seat in 2022 and is one of two Jewish Republicans serving in the House of Representatives. Miller is pro Israel and has introduced a censure to punish Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) after she criticized the Israeli government's indiscriminate bombing of the Gaza Strip.

Miller is a former advisor under Donald J. Trump.

Miller represents Cleveland and its exurbs and extending towards Ashland and Wooster.

The seat is gerrymandered. Ohio Republicans refuse to accept the voters' amendment to create an independent commission to establish fair redistricting.

Kucinich, 77, served in the U.S. House from 1997 to 2012, until he was defeated in a primary challenge from sitting Ninth Congressional District U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur.

Kaptur faces a tough reelection due to her district being redesigned Democratic leaning Toledo and Sandusky with the more conservative towns of Defiance and Bryan. It gave Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH) more an advantage in his district.

Reminder, Kucinich has endorsed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for president. He is a conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer, Russian propagandist and supporter of Palestinians.

The only thing I agree with is support of Palestinians. Kucinich is a nuisance candidate who has zero chance of even winning.
