Seems based to me on this decision alone:
Dennis Kucinich, throughout his political career, has largely managed to avoid personal scandal. His tenure as mayor of Cleveland, however, was marked by significant controversy related to the city's financial default, though this was more a political and financial scandal than a personal one. He made the decision not to sell the city's municipal electric utility, Muny Light (now called Cleveland Public Power), to its private competitor. This decision was a significant factor leading to Cleveland's default, as the city was unable to pay its financial obligations.
Some detractors have criticized Kucinich for his positions and actions, such as his meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in 2017, which some viewed as inappropriate given the Syrian regime's human rights abuses. But this was a matter of political controversy rather than a personal scandal.
In 2008, during his presidential campaign, there was a minor media stir when Kucinich admitted seeing a UFO at a campaign event hosted by actress Shirley MacLaine. However, this incident is more a quirky footnote in his career than a scandal.
