Ohio’s congressional delegation is shrinking; Washington state’s is growing. So with the prospect of losing his congressional seat to redistricting, Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich is exploring a House run in Washington, far away from Cleveland, the city he was once the mayor of. “My district appears to be on the block, so I am looking at options, and I am not limiting those options to Ohio,” Kucinich told the New York Times.

The truth is, Kucinich, a Democrat, only won his district (Ohio’s 10) with 52.8 percent of the vote last year. That’s a victory, but for a veteran politician, it’s a bit too close for comfort. (There was a time during the election when it looked like his lesser-known opponent Peter Corrigan could pull an upset.)
