Former 8-term Congressman, Dennis Kucinich, is running for the Democratic nomination for governor of Ohio. It has been six years since he lost his congressional seat, but the stunning beatdown of both the Democratic and Republican establishments during the 2016 presidential campaign was Kucinich’s invitation to come in from the fringe. Populist causes that he has championed forever despite derision and dismissal — universal health care, free college tuition, rethinking trade agreements, reining in the surveillance state, bringing troops home, making huge investments in infrastructure — are now mainstream positions within his own party... it is undeniable that Kucinich has long been tuned to a political frequency that few heard until it became a roar.
