Reply #28: I ran against Mary Rose Oakar for Congress in 1992...

[WCGreen]

the year that the Check bouncing scandal erupted in Congress....

Of course Mary Rose was at the center of it....

I just decided to run, not thinking I could win, just wanted to bring up some points...

There were 7 of us running including Mary Rose and Tim Hagan, a sitting county commissioner and the former head of the democratic party in Cuyahoga County....

Well, at my interview for the Plain Dealer, I must have impressed someone because they decided to endorse me...

I was interviewed several times on live TV, made a blurb in the Wall Street Cournal and actually had people recognize me out on the streets...

Fun time, heady time....

And I came in fifth....
