Dennis Kucinich to marry British citizen

CLEVELAND, July 13 (UPI) -- U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, whose single status was feted during his 2004 presidential bid, will marry British citizen Elizabeth Harper, a report said.

Staff for the Cleveland Democrat, who once was the city's mayor, said only that Harper has red hair, works for a Chicago think tank and is a British citizen, WTAM-AM in Cleveland reported.

Kucinich's first marriage ended in divorce in the 1980s.

During his presidential bid last year in which his single status often was discussed, a Web site ran a contest whose winner won a date with the eligible congressman.

Sparks failed to fly, however, and the woman said she really just wanted to meet Kucinich.
