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.

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.
