List of American state and local politicians convicted of crimes

This list includes American politicians at the state and local levels who have been convicted of crimes they committed in office. Not everyone who works in government is a politician save those who meet the requirements of Notability in the English Wikipedia. Private citizens, businessmen and family should not be included, unless they relate to the crime as co-defendants.

The list does not include scandals, accusations, arrests or indictments that have not led lead to convictions. At the bottom of the article are links to related articles which deal with politicians who are involved in scandals (political and sex), as well as differentiating among federal, state and local convictions. Also excluded are crimes which occur outside the politician's tenure in office unless they specifically stem from acts during his time of service.

Entries are arranged by date, from most current to less recent, and by state.

It looks like three times as many Democrats as Republicans. How about that!

Democrats stealing from their own constituents, the ones who voted them into office. Pathetic. Maryland, especially PG and Baltimore counties are rife with them.
