Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has just picked up another opponent.
But not in his long-shot bid for the White House.
Cleveland City Councilman Joe Cimperman will announce Tuesday that he is running for his fellow Democrat's 10th Congressional seat, which includes the West Side of Cleveland and the city's western suburbs.
Kucinich refuses to say if he plans to seek a seventh term next year; the filing deadline is a month away.
If Kucinich does run for re-election, Cimperman, who represents downtown Cleveland, will be Kucinich's first serious challenger in either a primary or general election since he was elected to Congress in 1996.
That year, Kucinich, playing up his Cleveland roots and espousing an anti-Washington message, knocked off two-term Republican Martin Hoke.
Ohio's primary is March 4. |
