"Following his time in prison, Traficant attempted to return to the U.S. House in 2010 as an Independent, but was defeated by Democrat Tim Ryan, who succeeded him as representative of Ohio's 17th District in 2002."
Can not believe the lack of integrity in the party which offered him up as a candidate!!

..."Traficant died in September 2014 at the age of 73, after he was injured in a farming accident.
According to the U.S. House of Representatives' History, Art & Archives, the first three members of U.S. House members to be expelled were John B. Clark and John. W. Reid of Missouri and Henry C. Burnett of Kentucky in 1861 on charges of being disloyal to the Union and fighting for the Confederacy during the Civil War.
The fourth person to be expelled was Michael Myers of Pennslyvania in 1980, after he was convicted of bribery.
According to the U.S. Senate's website, 15 senators have been expelled from the upper chamber of the U.S. Congress. The last senator to be expelled was Jesse D. Bright, a Democrat from Indiana in 1862 for supporting the Confederate rebellion in the U.S. Civil War.
In addition to the expulsions, a total of 26 U.S. House members have been censured, while another 11 U.S. House members have been reprimanded."
