Thomas Pottenger

Thomas Alexander Pottenger was an American politician. He was a member of the Ohio [House of Representatives]. Originally elected to the House in 1968, Pottenger served two terms before losing the primary election to Richard Finan, much due to an unpopular vote regarding taxes. However, he made a comeback in 1976 by doing the same to fellow Republican John Brandenberg.
In 1990, Pottenger resigned from his House seat to take a position on the Ohio Employment Relations Board. He would serve on the SERB for a number of years in the Nineties. Pottenger died in 2003.
