Marcia Fudge is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 29, 1952 in Cleveland, United States. Marcia Louise Fudge, born October 29, 1952, is an American politician who has served as the U.S. Rep for Ohio’s 11th congressional District since 2008. She is a member of the Democratic Party and won the 2008 special election without contest, succeeding Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who died in office. This district covers most of Akron and Cleveland. Fudge was the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus during the 113th Congress.

In 2015, Fudge wrote a letter asking for leniency in the sentencing of her colleague Lance Mason. Mason, an Ohio trial court judge, had punched his wife more than a dozen times, bit her and slammed her head into the dashboard and window of their SUV, breaking her eye socket in front of their two young daughters

Despite the severity of the attack, Fudge described Mason as “kind,” and wrote that “Lance (…) has assured me that something like this will never happen again.” Mason subsequently attacked and killed his (now) ex-wife, in 2018, stabbing her 59 times. After the attack, Fudge released a statement saying she condemned the crimes committed by Mason. She said her support for Mason in 2015 was based on the person she knew for almost 30 years, writing that “the person who committed these crimes is not the Lance Mason familiar to me.”

A committee of local Democratic leaders selected Fudge to replace Stephanie Tubbs Jones, who died on August 20, 2008. Fudge was almost assured of her election in the heavily Democratic district with black majority. Fudge won the November 4, general election with 85 percent of votes, beating Republican Thomas Pekarek. Fudge won the November 4 general election, defeating Republican Thomas Pekarek with 85 percent of the vote.
