EspañolDENNIS KUCINICH
'Dennis John Kucinich' (born October 8, 1946) is an American politician of the Democratic party and a candidate for President of the United States in both 2004 and 2008.
Kucinich currently represents the 10th District of Ohio in the United States House of Representatives. His district includes most of western Cleveland, as well as such suburbs as Parma and Cuyahoga Heights. He is currently the chairman of the Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
From 1977 to 1979, Kucinich served as the 53rd mayor of Cleveland, Ohio, a tumultuous term in which he survived a recall election and was successful in a battle against selling the municipal electric utility before being defeated for reelection by George V. Voinovich, currently a US Senator, in 1979.
Personal details
Kucinich was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on October 8, 1946, as the eldest of the seven children of Frank and Virginia Kucinich.[1] His father, a truck driver, was of Croatian ancestry; his Irish American mother, a homemaker.[2] Growing up, his family moved 21 times and Kucinich was often charged with the responsibility of finding apartments they could afford. However, this was not always possible and the family was occasionally forced to live out of their car.

In school he played as a third-string quarterback on his varsity football team.[3] He attended Cleveland State University from 1967 to 1970.[4] In 1973, he graduated from Case Western Reserve University with both a BA and an MA in speech and communication.[5] Kucinich was baptized a Roman Catholic.[6] He is twice-divorced, with a daughter, Jackie, from his marriage to Sandra Lee McCarthy. He married his third wife, Elizabeth Harper (b. 1977), a British citizen, on August 21, 2005.
Recognition
In 2003, Kucinich was the recipient of the Gandhi Peace Award, an annual award bestowed by the Religious Society of Friends-affiliated organization Promoting Enduring Peace.[1]
Early career
Kucinich's political career began early. After running unsuccessfully in 1967, Kucinich was elected to the Cleveland City Council in 1969, when he was 23.2 In 1972, Kucinich ran for a seat in the United States House of Representatives, losing narrowly to incumbent Republican William E. Minshall Jr. In 1974, after Minshall's retirement, Kucinich sought the seat again, this time failing to get the Democratic nomination, which instead went to Ronald M. Mottl. Kucinich ran in the general election anyway, as an independent. While he came in third, he still managed to garner almost 30% of the vote. Interestingly enough, Democrat Mottl still managed to win the race, even with such a large chunk of the Democratic vote going to Kucinich. In 1975, Kucinich became clerk of the municipal court in Cleveland and served in that position for two years.[8]

Cleveland Mayoralty, 1977–1979
Main articles: Mayoral administration of Dennis Kucinich
In 1977, Kucinich was elected Mayor of Cleveland and served in that position until 1979.[9] At 31, he was the youngest mayor of a major city in the United States.2 Kucinich's tenure as mayor is often regarded as one of the most tumultuous in Cleveland's history.[10][11] After Kucinich refused to sell Muny Light, Cleveland's publicly-owned electric utility, the Cleveland mafia put a hit on Kucinich. A hitman from Maryland planned to shoot him in the head during the Columbus Day Parade, but the plot fell apart when Kucinich got sick and missed the event. When the city fell into default shortly thereafter, the mafia leaders called off the contract killer.[12] Kucinich is the only former Mayor of Cleveland without a portrait hanging in Cleveland's City Hall.
Melvin G. Holli, in consultation with a panel of experts, placed Kucinich among the ten worst big-city mayors of all time for reasons of temperament and performance in the book, ''Best and Worst of the Big-City Leaders 1820–1993'' while Kucinich's supporters say that Kucinich kept his campaign promise of refusing to sell Muni Light to CEI and was brave for not giving in to big business. Specifically, it was the Cleveland Trust Company that required all of the city's debts be paid in full, which forced the city into default, after news of Kucinich's refusal to sell the city utility. For years these debts were routinely rolled over, pending future payment, until Kucinich's announcement was made public. In 1998 the council honored him for having the "courage and foresight" to stand up to the banks and saving the city an estimated $195 million between 1985 and 1995.[13]
Post-mayorship
After losing his re-election bid for Mayor to George Voinovich in 1979, Kucinich kept a low-profile in Cleveland politics. He criticized a tax referendum proposed by Voinovich in 1980, which voters eventually approved. He also struggled to find employment and moved to Los Angeles, California where he stayed with a friend, actress Shirley MacLaine.[14] During the next three years, Kucinich earned money as a radio talk show host, lecturer, and consultant.[4] However, this was a very difficult period for Kucinich financially. Without a steady paycheck, Kucinich fell behind in his mortgage payments, nearly lost his house in Cleveland, and ended up borrowing money from friends, including MacLaine, to keep it.14 On his 1982 income tax return, Kucinich reported income of $38.14 When discussing this period, Kucinich stated, "When I was growing up in Cleveland, my early experience conditioned me to hang in there and not to quit. . . (During that time, his family had moved frequently, sometimes living in cars between apartments.) It's one thing to experience that as a child, but when you have to as an adult, it has a way to remind you how difficult things can be. You understand what people go through."14
In 1982, Kucinich moved back to Cleveland and ran for Secretary of State; however, he lost the Democratic primary to Sherrod Brown.14 In 1983, Kucinich won a special election to fill the seat of a Cleveland city councilman who had died.[16] His brother, Gary Kucinich was also a councilman at the time.
In 1985, there was some speculation that Kucinich might run for mayor again. Instead his brother, Gary ran against (and lost to) the incumbent Voinovich. Kucinich, meanwhile, gave up his council position to run for governor of Ohio as an independent against Richard Celeste, but later withdrew from the race.16 After this, Kucinich, in his own words "on a quest for meaning," lived quietly in New Mexico until 1994 when he won a seat in the State Senate.16 "He was in political Siberia in the 1980s," said Joseph Tegreene years later. "It was only when it became clear to people that he was right... he got belated recognition for the things that he did."
House of Representatives
In 1996, Kucinich was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, representing the 10th district of Ohio. He defeated two-term Republican incumbent Martin Hoke in what is still regarded as an upset. The election data for the tenth district show that this was previously a strongly Republican district. He has not faced serious opposition since.
He serves on the Congressional Education and Labor Committee as well as the Government Reform Committee. He is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and is a self-described "Wellstone Democrat."
Domestic policy voting record
Main articles: Political positions of Dennis Kucinich
Kucinich outside the capitol in June 2007
Kucinich helped introduce and is one of 75 cosponsors in the House of Representatives of the United States National Health Insurance Act or HR 676 proposed by Rep. John Conyers in 2003,[17] which provides for a universal single-payer public health-insurance plan.
Kucinich voted against the USA PATRIOT Act. His voting record is not always in line with that of the Democratic Party. He voted for the resolution calling for an investigation into President Bill Clinton's role in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, while most of his party opposed this resolution.[18]
Kucinich criticized the flag-burning amendment and voted against the impeachment of President Clinton. His congressional voting record has leaned toward a pro-life stance, although he noted that he has never supported a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortion altogether. In 2003, however, he began describing himself as pro-choice and said he had shifted away from his earlier position on the issue.[19] Press releases have indicated that he is pro-choice and supports ending the "abstinence-only" policy of sex education and increasing the use of contraception to make abortion "less necessary" over time.
He has criticized Diebold Election Systems for promoting voting machines that fail to leave a traceable paper trail, and posted internal company memos on his website in which company executives promised to deliver the 2004 Ohio election to Bush.[20] He was one of the 31 who voted in the House to not count the electoral votes from Ohio in the United States presidential election, 2004.[21]

Foreign policy record
Kucinich has criticized the foreign policy of President Bush, including the 2003 invasion of Iraq and what Kucinich perceives to be building American hostility towards Iran. Kucinich and Ron Paul are the only presidential candidates who voted against the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He has since voted against funding it 100% of the time. In 2005, Kucinich voted against the Iran Freedom and Support Act, calling it a "stepping stone to war."[22]
He advocates the abolition of all nuclear weapons calling on the United States to be the leader in multilateral disarmament.[23] Kucinich has also been a strong opponent of space based weapons and has sponsored legislation, HR 2977, banning the deployment and use of space-based weapons.[24]
Kucinich advocates U.S. withdrawal from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) because, in his view, it causes the loss of more American jobs than it creates, and does not provide adequate protections for worker rights and safety and environmental safeguards. He is against the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) for the same reason.[25]
He believes the U.S. should move aggressively to reduce emissions that cause climate change due to global warming[26] and should sign the Kyoto Protocol, a major international agreement signed by over 160 countries to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by each signatory.[27]
Kucinich is one of only two congressmen (the other is Ron Paul) who voted against Rothman-Kirk Resolution, which calls on UN to charge Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating the genocide convention and UN charter. Kucinich claims that Ahmadinejad does not want a destruction of Israel but merely a regime change.[28]
2004 presidential campaign
Kucinich speaks out against the occupation of Iraq at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
Kucinich was criticized during his 2004 campaign for allegedly changing his stance on the issue of abortion, as described above.[29]
Ralph Nader praised Kucinich as "a genuine progressive", and most Greens were friendly to Kucinich's campaign, some going so far as to indicate that they would not have run against him had he won the Democratic nomination. However, Kucinich was unable to carry any states in the 2004 Democratic Primaries, and John Kerry eventually won the Democratic nomination at the Democratic National Convention.
Press coverage
On December 10, 2003, the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) announced the removal of its correspondents from the campaigns of Kucinich, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton.
[30]
The announcement came one day after a Democratic presidential debate hosted by ABC News' Ted Koppel, in which Koppel asked whether the candidacies of Kucinich, Moseley Braun and Sharpton were merely ''vanity campaigns,'' and Koppel and Kucinich exchanged uncomfortable dialogue.
[31]
Kucinich, previously critical of the limited coverage given his campaign, characterized ABC's decision as an example of media companies' power to shape campaigns by choosing which candidates to cover and questioned its timing, coming immediately after the debate.
[32]
ABC News, while stating its commitment to give coverage to a wide range of candidates, argued that focusing more of its finite resources on those candidates most likely to win would best serve the public debate.
[33]
Polls and primaries
In the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination race, national polls consistently showed Kucinich's support in single digits, but rising, especially as Howard Dean lost some support among peace activists for refusing to commit to cutting the Pentagon budget. Though he was not viewed as a viable contender by most, there were differing polls on Kucinich's popularity.
He placed second in MoveOn.org's primary, behind Dean. He also placed first in other polls, particularly Internet-based ones. This led many activists to believe that his showing in the primaries might be better than what Gallup polls had been saying. However, in the non-binding Washington, D.C. primary, Kucinich finished fourth (last out of candidates listed on the ballot), with only eight percent of the vote. Support for Kucinich was most prevalent in the caucuses around the country.
In the Iowa caucuses he finished fifth, receiving about one percent of the state delegates from Iowa; far below the 15% threshold for receiving national delegates. He performed similarly in the New Hampshire primary, placing sixth among the seven candidates with 1% of the vote. In the Mini-Tuesday primaries Kucinich finished near the bottom in most states, with his best performance in New Mexico where he received less than six percent of the vote, and still no delegates. Kucinich's best showing in any Democratic contest was in the February 24 Hawaii caucus, in which he won 31% of caucus participants, coming in second place to Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts. He also saw a double-digit showing in Maine on February 8, where he got 16% in that state's caucus.
On Super Tuesday, March 2, Kucinich gained another strong showing with the Minnesota caucus, where 17% of the ballots went to him. In his home state of Ohio, he gained nine percent in the primary.
Kucinich campaigned heavily in Oregon, spending thirty days there during the two months leading up to the state's May 18 primary. He continued his campaign because "the future direction of the Democratic Party has not yet been determined"[34] and chose to focus on Oregon "because of its progressive tradition and its pioneering spirit."[35]
He even offered to campaign jointly with Kerry during Kerry's visit to the state, though the offer was ignored. He won 16% of the vote.
Even after Kerry won enough delegates to secure the nomination, Kucinich continued to campaign up until just before the convention, citing an effort to help shape the agenda of the Democratic party. He was the last candidate to end his campaign, mere days before the start of the convention.
2008 Presidential campaign
Main articles: Dennis Kucinich presidential campaign, 2008
On December 11, 2006 in a speech delivered at Cleveland City Hall, Kucinich announced he would seek the nomination of the Democratic Party for President in 2008.
His platform[36] for 2008 includes:
★ Creating a single-payer system of universal health care that provides full coverage for all Americans by passage of the United States National Health Insurance Act.
★ The immediate, phased withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq; replacing them with an international security force.
★ Guaranteed quality education for all; including free pre-kindergarten and college for all who want it.
★ Immediate withdrawal from the World Trade Organization (WTO) and North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
★ Repealing the USA PATRIOT Act.
★ Fostering a world of international cooperation.
★ Abolishing the death penalty.
★ Environmental renewal and clean energy.
★ Preventing the privatization of social security.
★ Providing full social security benefits at age 65.
★ Creating a cabinet-level "Department of Peace"
★ Ratifying the ABM Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.
★ Introducing reforms to bring about instant-runoff voting.
★ Protecting a woman's right to choose while decreasing the number of abortions performed in the U.S.
★ Ending the war on drugs.
★ Legalizing same-sex marriage.
★ Creating a balance between workers and corporations.
★ Ending the H1B and L1 Visa Programs
★ Restoring rural communities and family farms.
★ Strengthening gun control.
Kucinich describes his stance on the issues as mainstream in numerous interviews.
Congressional campaigns
Kucinich has always been easily reelected to Congress, though Republicans and conservative Democrats have made increasingly high-profile attempts to challenge him. In the 2004 primary election, Kucinich was renominated for the seat representing Ohio's 10th congressional district.
Democratic party primary election results:
| Candidate | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Dennis J. Kucinich | 73,063 | 86 |
| George Pulling | 12,380 | 14 |
In the general election, the result was:
| Candidate | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Dennis J. Kucinich (Democrat) | 167,221 | 59.9 |
| Edward F. Herman (Republican) | 94,120 | 33.7 |
| Barbara Anne Ferris (Independent) | 17,753 | 6.3 |
Kucinich defeated Republican candidate Ed Herman. Because of Kucinich's national fame, both candidates received much backing by their parties from outside the district, particularly on the Internet.
In 2006, Kucinich defeated another Democratic primary challenger by a wide margin, and defeated Republican Mike Dovilla in the general election with 66% of the vote, despite last-minute Republican attempts to bring more support to Dovilla.
Plans
The Kucinich Plan For Iraq
On 8 January, 2007 Dennis Kucinich unveiled his comprehensive exit plan to bring the troops home and stabilize Iraq.[37]
His plan includes the following steps:[38]
#Announce that the US will end the occupation, close the military bases, and withdraw.
#Announce that existing funds will be used to bring the troops and the necessary equipment home.
#Order a simultaneous return of all U.S. contractors to the United States and turn over the contracting work to the Iraqi government
#Convene a regional conference for the purpose of developing a security and stabilization force for Iraq.
#Prepare an international security peacekeeping force to move in, replacing U.S. troops, who then return home.
#Develop and fund a process of national reconciliation.
#Restart programs for reconstruction and creating jobs for the Iraqi people.
#Provide reparations for the damage that has been done to the lives of Iraqis.
#Assure the political sovereignty of Iraq and ensure that their oil isn't stolen.
#Repair the Iraqi economy.
#Guarantee economic sovereignty for Iraq
#Commence an international truth and reconciliation process, which establishes a policy of truth and reconciliation between the people of the United States and Iraq.
Space Preservation Act of 2001
Kucinich introduced the first Space Preservation Act on October 2, 2001, with no cosponsors. The bill was referred to the House Science, the House Armed Services, and the House International Relations committees. The bill died in committee (April 9, 2002) because of an unfavorable executive comment received from the Department of Defense.[39]
Impeachment proceedings against Dick Cheney
On April 17, 2007, Kucinich sent a letter to his Democratic colleagues saying that he planned to file impeachment proceedings against Dick Cheney, the vice president of the United States, without specifying the charges to be brought.[40] Kucinich planned to introduce the impeachment articles on April 24, 2007, but in light of Cheney's surprise doctor's visit to inspect a blood clot, Kucinich decided to postpone the scheduled press conference "until the vice president's condition is clarified."[41]
Kucinich held a press conference on the evening of April 24, 2007, revealing US House Resolution 333 and the three articles of impeachment against Cheney. He charges Cheney with manipulating the evidence of Iraq's weapons program, deceiving the nation about Iraq's connection to al-Qaeda, and threatening aggression against Iran in violation of the United Nations charter.
During the first Democratic Presidential debate at South Carolina State University,[42] none of the other candidates' hands went up when the moderator, Brian Williams, asked if they would support Kucinich's plan to impeach Cheney. In response, Kucinich retrieved a "pocket-sized" copy of the U.S. Constitution from his coat and expressed the importance of protecting and defending Constitutional principles.[43]
As of August 4, 2007, eighteen other Congressional representatives have become cosponsors.[44] Six of these are members of the House Judiciary Committee: Tammy Baldwin, Keith Ellison, Hank Johnson, Maxine Waters, Steve Cohen and Sheila Jackson-Lee.
In the resolution an article of impeachment was called for pressuring CIA analysts to change their positions. Although the Silberman-Robb report made it clear that there was no pressure, Dennis Kusinich along signed a letter drafted by Henry Waxman to reinvestigate the claims in May of 2007.[45]
Silberman-Robb Report:
"'Finally, we closely examined the possibility that intelligence analysts were pressured by policymakers to change their judgments about Iraq's nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons programs. The analysts who worked Iraqi weapons issues universally agreed that in no instance did political pressure cause them to skew or alter any of their analytical judgments. That said, it is hard to deny the conclusion that intelligence analysts worked in an environment that did not encourage skepticism about the conventional wisdom.'"[46]
Opposition to H1B/L1 Visa Programs
Kucinich has been a vocal opponent of the H1B and L1 visa programs. In an article on his campaign website,[47] he states:
Plan to ban handguns
In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre in Blacksburg, Virginia, Kucinich proposed a plan that he says will address violence in America. Kucinich is currently drafting legislation that includes a ban on the purchase, sale, transfer, or possession of handguns by civilians.[48]
Support for reinstating the Fairness Doctrine
Kucinich is also involved in efforts to bring back the Fairness Doctrine, requiring radio stations to give liberal and conservative points of view equal time, which he and other critics of talk radio claim is not presently the case. He is joined in this effort by fellow Democrat Maurice Hichney, among others, as well as independent Senator Bernie Sanders[49]. Conservatives have criticized these plans, stating that allegedly liberal-dominated Hollywood, academia and mainstream media would not be subject to these regulations[50][51][52].
Animal rights
Kucinich addresses the issue of factory farming in his policy encouraging independent, family-owned, and organic farming. This would help lead to "the meat that we consume coming from happy and healthy free-range animals", Kucinich states on his campaign website.[53]
Kucinich is the only vegan in Congress.[54] He has maintained a diet for many years that excludes animal products in accordance with his conviction that "all life on our Earth [is] sacred."53[55]
