Traficant Files To Run As Independent In 17th District
Ohio voters face a crowded 17th District race after James A. Traficant Jr. filed as an independent. Forewoman Helen Knipp, who helped convict him on 10 federal counts, says his defense was bluster. Traficant seeks re election amid three other candidates from Dem, GOP, and independent ranks in a field likened to a Derby mood.
