Frank Arnold Cremeans (April 5, 1943 – January 2, 2003) was an American small-businessman who represented Ohio in the United States House of Representatives as a Republican. He served one term in Congress, from 1995 to 1997.
Strickland challenged Cremeans in 1996 to regain the seat. Strickland won by a slim majority thanks to strong Democratic turnout in southeastern Ohio, particularly in Athens County.
Later careeredit
Cremeans subsequently returned to Gallipolis and his concrete business.
In 1998, Cremeans sought to retake his seat from Strickland, but he was defeated in a three-way Republican primary by Lieutenant GovernorNancy Hollister. In March 2000, he challenged GOP incumbent Senator Mike DeWine in a three way primary, finishing in third place with 8% of the vote. (DeWine drew 80%, and gun show promoter Ronald Dickson drew 12%.)
Deathedit
He died in Gallipolis in 2003 due to a respiratory disease.[1]
