Political career

Kazumi Ota was elected to the Chiba Prefectural Assembly in 2005 and then to the House of Representatives for the first time in 2006 during special by-elections in Chiba 7th district. During 2009 general elections that marked DPJ's landslide victory, Ota was re-elected in Fukushima 2nd district. She lost in 2012 national elections, got elected in 2014 and lost again in 2017.[1]

She once worked as a hostess, which in the past would have likely ignited a scandal but has not presently done so.
