Ronald Paul Klink (born September 23, 1951) is an American television broadcaster and politician and who served four terms as a United States Representative from Pennsylvania from 1993 to 2001, as member of the Democratic Party.
Klink was born in Canton, Ohio, and graduated from Meyersdale High School in Pennsylvania in 1969.
Klink originally worked behind the scenes at WTAJ-TV in Altoona, Pennsylvania from 1976 to 1977 and then became weatherman plus fill-in sports anchor until his departure for Pittsburgh in July 1978.
He married Linda Loree Hogan in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, on August 27, 1977.
He later became a recognizable figure in the Pittsburgh area as a television news weatherman and reporter on KDKA-TV from 1978 to 1991.
In 1992, Klink sought the Democratic nomination for the 4th District and defeated five-term incumbent Joe Kolter in the primary.
He was easily elected in November and served four terms in the House, never winning less than 64 percent of the vote.
Klink was popular within his district as a moderate Democrat with strong labor ties.
* Write-in and minor candidate notes: In 1994, write-ins received 6 votes.
In 1996, write-ins received 98 votes.
In 1998, write-ins received 17 votes.
In 2000, he left his House seat to run unsuccessfully for the Senate against incumbent Rick Santorum.
Klink lost the race by five points.
Klink was virtually unknown on the eastern side of Pennsylvania (including the important Philadelphia area).
Other contributing factors included his conservative stances on social issues and the fact that he had to spend a large amount of money in the crowded Democratic primary.
He had been mentioned as a possible candidate for his own congressional seat against the person who succeeded him, Republican Melissa Hart.
According to then-Congressman Curt Weldon in his book Countdown to Terror, in 2003, Klink offered Weldon the identity of an intelligence source with information on Iraqi uranium purchases.
The intelligence reportedly later proved to be fabricated.
However, in December 2005, Klink announced he would not run.
