AOL’s Lemondrop (an “edgy women’s lifestyle site”) has put together a list of the The 51 Hottest Politicians in America.
#1 on the list is 32-year-old Oregon State representative Ben Cannon from Southeast Portland. I searched my archives and found this shot of him pedaling along the Marine Drive bike path in July 2007:

I rode with Ben a few years back at one of the Cycle Oregon policymakers rides. I was impressed that he was a State Representative at such a young age (he’s clearly got a bright future ahead of him), but I had no idea he was such a “hottie”.
Here’s how AOL’s Lemondrop describes him:
This guy teaches middle school and is an avid cyclist. He’s also got that grunge-cute look of a guy who plays in an indie rock band on the side. We like. A lot.
Congratulations Ben! Hopefully you can use this important endorsement in your current re-election campaign ;-).
