Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jeannette Marie Hoffman Schmidt, (born November 29, 1951) is a member of the United States House of Representatives for Ohio's 2nd congressional district, which stretches from eastern Cincinnati to Portsmouth. Schmidt is the second female Ohio Republican to be elected to Congress without succeeding her husband and the first woman to represent the Cincinnati area in the House. She won her seat in a special election on August 2, 2005, by 3.5 percentage points over Democrat and Iraq War veteran Paul Hackett, amid national attention to the race because of Hackett's strong views on the war. The margin of her victory led many Democrats to claim a victory for their party, since the district had been reliably Republican for the past 30 years, and to forecast trouble for the Republicans in 2006. Despite these forecasts, Schmidt defeated former representative Bob McEwen in a hard-fought Republican primary in May 2006 and Democrat Victoria Wells Wulsin, a medical doctor, in 2006 with 50.4% of the vote. She was re-elected in 2008, winning 45% of the vote.
