'''Donald E. "Buz" Lukens''' (born February 11, 1931) was a [[Republican]] member of the [[House of Representatives]] from [[Ohio]]. He was elected in 1966 and served just one term. He ran for Governor of Ohio in 1970, but lost in the Republican primary. Lukens then successfully ran for Ohio State Senate, serving from 1971 to 1986. With incumbent Congressman Tom Kindress choosing to run for the [[Senate]] in 1986, Lukens decided to run for the open seat. He was elected to the 101st Congress beginning in 1987, and was reelected in 1988.
Lukens' career came to an end when an Ohio television station caught him on camera talking with the mother of a 16-year old girl and admitting to sexual relations with the daughter. He was convicted by a grand jury in 1989 on a misdemeanor charge of "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" for paying the girl for sex in his apartment in November, 1988.<ref>Columbus Dispatch, February 24, 1989</ref><ref>[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE1D9143CF934A15756C0A96F948260 Ohio Congressman Is Convicted in Sex Case]</ref>
