Encyclopedia > Charles Sanders

Charles W. Sanders (born May 12, 1947) is a retired Ohio auto worker who has run as a Democrat for the U.S. House of Representatives four times in Ohio's heavily Republican Second Congressional District from 1998 to 2004. He has lost four times to the incumbent Congressman Robert J. Portman.


Sanders was born in Harveysburg, Ohio, the son of William T. and Ida Francis Sanders. He attended the public schools in Harveysburg and graduated from Clinton-Massie High School. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial and labor relations from Wilmington College in Wilmington, Ohio in 1978.


After serving in the U.S. Army from 1964 to 1967 he worked for General Motors in Dayton, Ohio from 1967 until his retirement in 1998.


Sanders was active in Democratic politics in Warren County, Ohio, serving as county party treasurer from 1976 to 1980. He was a member of Rotary and other community organizations.


His political career began with his appointment to the Harveysburg village council in 1971. In 1982, now living in Waynesville, he was appointed to its council. He was elected to the Waynesville council in 1989 and served until 2000. He served first as vice mayor and then mayor of the village from 1995 to 2000.


Sanders was recalled by the voters in November 2000 because of his claims the Waynesville police were engaged in racial profiling (Sanders is African American). Some citizens were also concerned he was spending too much time on his Congressional races. The vote was 59 percent for his recall, 41 percent against. In 2002 and 2004, he again ran against Portman despite no longer living in the Second District.


2004 Democratic Party primary election results for the Second District:

Candidate Votes Percentage
Charles W. Sanders 20,658 65%
Mark A. Crummie 10,943 35%
