Dennis Kucinich is getting hitched.
The 58-year-old congressman from Cleveland's West Side plans to wed Elizabeth Harper later this summer.
Kucinich spokesman Doug Gordon described Harper as a red-haired British citizen who works at a monetary policy think tank in Chicago.
Gordon refused to divulge more details about Harper, or discuss how the couple met or how long they've dated.
"We are trying to respect her privacy and the congressman's privacy," Gordon said.
During his 2004 presidential campaign, the twice-divorced Kucinich boldly declared his single status and told New Hampshire audiences he was seeking a mate.
Dozens of women vied for a date with him during a contest arranged by a New Hampshire political Web site, but nothing romantic evolved from Kucinich's breakfast date with its winner.
Kucinich can now put the dating rat race behind him.
"They are both very happy, and the congressman is very much looking forward to being married," Gordon said.
