Seth Taft

Seth Chase Taft (born 1923) is an American politician of the Republican party. He is the grandson of President William Howard Taft and the son of Cincinnati, Ohio, mayor Charles Phelps Taft II and Eleanor Chase Taft, whose father ran the Waterbury, Connecticut Clock Company. Taft had five sisters and one brother and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. He married Franny Prindle from New Haven, Connecticut.

Taft was an unsuccessful candidate for the Ohio Senate in 1962. He ran for the office of the mayor of Cleveland, Ohio in 1967, losing to Democratic candidate Carl B. Stokes, the first African American mayor of a major city.

In 1982, Taft sought the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio, but he lost the primary race to Clarence J. "Bud" Brown Jr.. He was, however, a Cuyahoga County, Ohio Commissioner. Seth and Franny Taft have three sons: Frederick I. Taft, Thomas P. Taft, and Seth T. Taft.
