Benjamin B. Hodge (born March 20, 1980) is an American former politician who served in the Kansas House of Representatives as a Republican for slightly less than one term. He was originally elected to the Kansas House in 2006, winning relatively close victories in both the primary (53%, vs. 47% for fellow Republican Bobby Love) and the general election (55%, vs. 45% for Democrat Bond Faulwell).[2] He succeeded Scott Schwab in the state house, who instead ran for election to the U.S. House of Representatives, but was defeated in the primary.[3] Hodge resigned his state house seat in May 2008, and Schwab successfully ran for his old state house seat in that year's elections.
