I would say I'm much more knowledgeable than most people when it comes to politics and I've *literally* never heard of Marcia Fudge before in my life.

who represents the east side of Cuyahoga County (Cleveland and suburbs) and stretches into Summit and Stark Counties (Akron and Canton). She has been in Congress since 2008 upon the sudden death of Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Her only prior political office was mayor of Warrensville Heights Ohio.

I will note that Marcia Fudge is one of two Democratic members who refuses to cosponsor the Equality Act, which would extend civil rights protections to sexual orientation and gender identity.

(The other is Dan Lipinski.)
