The special election victory in February 1979 was a short-lived celebration.

Kucinich has used this victory in later political campaigns to demonstrate his character. He still proudly lists this among his career achievements. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
