Love the idea! Maybe you can add the party affiliation, too. Also, what if they stunk at both! | ||
Glenn Jacobs wrestler to mayor of Knox County, TN? | ||
2000 BBM Limited All Japan Pro Wrestling #19 Hiroshi Hase | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) Hiroshi Hase is the governor of Ishikawa Prefecture. 1991 BBM #105 Hiroo Ishii | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com) Hiroo Ishii is a member of the House of Councilors for Akita. | ||
Dick Schafrath - former Ohio State Senator; Browns player And a Canadian paralympian that I don't believe has a card anywhere, Senator Chantal Petitclerc. | ||

Awesome list. Never thought about this, but knew only of Kane AKA Glenn Jacobs. If you were looking to expand on the holding office criteria to running for it, I could include NASCAR driver Hermie Sadler who ran for Senate District 17 in VA this year (although he lost).

Christian Estrosi, former motorcycle racer and current mayor of Nice, France. | ||

Byron Whizzer White was also a U.S. Supreme Court Justice Jack Kemp was also a Vice-Presidential candidate in 1996 | ||
Correct me if I'm wrong, although confirmed by the Senate, Supreme Court Justice is not a political office. Jack Kemp previously included. | ||

Corey Holmes, formerly of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, was a mayor of the small town of Metcalfe, Mississippi. | ||
