Ben Konop
Ben Konop is a former Lucas County Commissioner. He ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Toledo, Ohio in 2009, after a heckler booed him and called him a liar for going back on his pledge to remain in his county commissioner seat until his full term was up. If he had won the mayor's race, he would not have been able to complete his term. A video of the booing incident became an internet sensation on YouTube and was even spoofed on Comedy Central's South Park. The soundtrack of this video is also replayed yearly after MLB's All Star Break in mid July on Yahoo! Sports Radio's Steve Czaban show with commentation from the Czaban Show hosts.
Konop also ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic Party candidate in Ohio's 4th congressional district for the United States House of Representatives in 2004.

At the age of 17, he was appointed by Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur to serve as a page for the Democratic Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives.
