U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich’s exit from Congress is among many setbacks defining his 42-year political career, dating to a 1978 attempt to recall him as the “boy mayor” of Cleveland.
The 65-year-old Ohio Democrat is among the first casualties in at least 10 contests between House members of the same party in districts created after the 2010 census. Kucinich lost March 6 to long-time colleague Marcy Kaptur and will leave Congress after this year.
