  Frank Cremeans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank A. Cremeans (April 5, 1943-January 2, 2003) was an Ohio small-businessman who represented Ohio in the United States House of Representatives as a Republican.
Cremeans made bizarre charges in the campaign that Strickland had burgled his offices and was spying on him while Strickland showed up at Cremeans rallies with a videocamera that sometimes had no tape in it.
In 1998, Cremeans sought to retake his seat from Strickland, but he was defeated in the nasty, three-way Republican primary by Lieutenant Governor Nancy Hollister.

WASHINGTON - Former Rep. Frank Cremeans likes to remind the Republican faithful in the rolling and rural 6th Congressional District of southeastern Ohio that he was there at the revolution.

Democrats hope that the same Contract with America that helped Cremeans win two years ago--by just two percentage points--will be his undoing this time around: his economically depressed district may not be as excited about fewer government services.
