Well after his stint in boy band 98 Degrees, Justin Jeffre made a sharp foray into politics when in 2005, he announced he was running for mayor of Cincinnati.

What he lacked was political experience — an issue that was clearly on the minds of Cincinnati voters as the Green Party candidate drew in a mere 708 votes in the primary election.
