Political career
In 1966, Shamansky ran for the US House of Representatives. However, he lost to presidential candidate Samuel L. Devine.
Fourteen years later, in 1980, Shamansky challenged Devine again. This time, he succeeded in overthrowing the long-domine Devine, becoming the first Democrat to represent the district since 1939. He is also the first Democrat to represent most of Columbus's state capital since 1967.
As a member of the 97th Congress, Shamansky serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and as a member of the Science and Technology Committee.
In 1982, after reapportionment, the Shamansky district absorbed most of the Republican-leaning 17th District. He was defeated in an attempt to be re-elected by Governor John Kasich in the future.
In 2006, Shamansky ran for his old congressional seat. However, the 12th has been significantly redrawn since he last served in Congress, and he lost to Kasich's replacement, Pat Tiberi, with 14 points.
Death
On August 11, 2011, Shamansky died at his home in Bexley, Ohio. He is 84 years old. Shamansky shot himself at Miranova's residence on August 11 at the age of 84, an act that embarrassed his closest family and friends.
