Joe the Plumber is now an elected official in Ohio
Source: AP

TOLEDO, Ohio — The man known as Joe the Plumber is now an elected official in Ohio.

Samuel Wurzelbacher, who was hailed by Republican John McCain's presidential campaign in 2008, has won a seat on a GOP committee in his hometown.

He'll be one of nearly 400 committee members who oversee the Republican Party in northwest Ohio's Lucas County. The group elects the county chairman and sets the party agenda.

Wurzelbacher won a spot on the committee by a 38-23 vote Tuesday in his suburban Toledo precinct.

He became an overnight sensation almost two years ago after questioning then-presidential candidate Barack Obama about his economic policies.

7. If there are 400 people on the GOP's committee, I suspect that
every single Repub in that county is on that committee.

32. Well, I can't stand him but it's probably not THAT hard to get elected to a commitee.
the assembly races where I live, no one usually votes so with a name that's recognized it's not too hard to get elected.
