	Charlie Luken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luken served as mayor of Cincinnati from 1984 to 1991.
		Charlie then ran for a seat in Ohio's District 1 in the United States House of Representatives to replace his father.
		Luken, however, discouraged the board from its inquiry, stating that it would be bad for the city if he had no opponent for re-election, as the Republican party had failed to field a candidate for the office of mayor.

		For a politician who has tried to avoid confrontation like a house cat avoids bath water, Charlie Luken was able for a quarter of a century to throw local politics, by word or deed, into turmoil.
		Jim Luken was dying of cancer, and many in the Democratic Party saw Charlie Luken as the natural candidate to take his place.
		In August 1992, Luken threw the Democratic Party for a loop when, three months before the election, he announced he was withdrawing as a candidate.

	The Kentucky Post
		In a move that shocked some of his City Council colleagues, Mayor Charlie Luken said during his State of the City address Monday that he now is opposed to managed competition.
		Some observers viewed Luken's shift on the issue -- as well as on repealing Article XII, which revoked anti-discrimination protections for gays, lesbians and bisexuals -- in a cynical light, as a ploy to win gay and labor union votes next year in his reelection bid.
		After the tape, Luken strolled onto the stage to outline his vision for the city in the coming year, walking about and using an "Oprah"-like style to convey his message.

	Mallory gets Qualls' support
		Mallory, like Luken, said he supports the repeal of Article XII of the city's charter, which prohibits City Council from passing a gay-rights law.
		Luken served as mayor from 1984 to 1990 before serving one term in the congressional seat his father had held for nine terms.
		Her support for Mallory isn't completely surprising - she and the Lukens have been rivals since former Rep. Thomas A. Luken, Charlie's father, served his encore term on City Council from 1993 to 1995.

		Charlie Luken, mayor of Cincinnati, unveiled a proposed 2004 municipal budget that calls for saving some programs that were headed for the chopping block, but still targets curbside recycling for elimination.

		But Luken warned City Council to avoid adding more spending because the city is facing severe financial constraints due to skyrocketing health insurance and pension costs for municipal workers.
