I've always found it bizarre that Jerry Springer went from being a respected local attorney to City Council-member and then Mayor of Cinncinatti to . . .news anchor and struggling daytime talk host (before finding fame steering the show to raunchy dysfunction). I guess his disasterous gubernatorial run in the early 80s put him in a tough spot.
I mean, Mayor of Cincinnati was relatively powerless in the seventies, and he quite honestly had no business being in any statewide race in Ohio (at least not from the position of Mayor of Cincinnati).
Mayor of Oakland is a nice career capstone for a politician of Lee's age, especially since never made it to House Leadership during her career.
