Edward Ford Weber (July 26, 1931 – February 27, 2023) was an American politician from Ohio. He served one term in the United States House of Representatives as a Republican from 1981 to 1983.

Early life and education

Weber was born in Toledo, Ohio. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Denison University and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. After graduation, Weber served two years in the United States Army.

Career

After his discharge in 1958, Weber began to practice law. In 1966, the University of Toledo College of Law hired him as a professor.

In 1980, Weber ran for Ohio's 9th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He defeated 26-year incumbent Thomas L. Ashley, chairman of the United States House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. This was due largely to Ronald Reagan carrying Lucas County, home to Toledo. In 1982, he lost his reelection bid to Marcy Kaptur.[1]

Death

He died on February 27, 2023, at the age of 91.[2]
