He came from a fairly prominent family - his father was CEO of Procter & Gamble and later Chairman of the Board of Walt Disney- so he was able to get the financial backing to run for office locally.

Since he has not been successful in two tries for state-wide office- not necessarily his fault, but bad years for Dems.- he's likely looking for an opportunity to get a solid name in Dem. politics in Ohio.

Edited to add: Pepper is a little short on charisma.
