1) Dennis Kucinich (1997-2013) 2) Marcy Kaptur (2013-present) 3) Martin Hoke (1994-1997)
It's a tough call between Kucinich and Kaptur. I feel Kaptur has come true on her promise that she would represent and visit us to her utmost potential and not end up centering around just the Toledo-Sandusky-Elyria area. Kucinich was remarkable to our district to though like supporting our MetroParks. He's grown up in Cleveland his whole life and his congressional career (and office) was centered around Cleveland.
The other problem in deciding is among their one differing issue, foreign policy, I do agree with Kaptur that we should send military aid to the Ukraine, but I also strongly supported the Kucinich's 2007 Iraqi evacuation and his other anti-war policies. So I guess it comes down to views on Afghanistan and side issues on amnesty for children of illegal immigrants, abortion, gun control, and Dodd-Frank, in which case, Kucinich all the way. Kaptur just needs some more time getting used to.
As for Hoke, he was just a controversial, conservative buffoon. He once considered dating two female Congresswomen and had his infamous "TV moment" that did him in, in 1996 (along with the district's heavy Democratic nature).
