- Michael_Diven abstract "Michael B. Diven is a former member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 22nd District. He was defeated in 2006.Diven is the son of Joey Diven, who Sports Illustrated once called "the world's toughest street fighter." Diven graduated from Duquesne University in 1993. He then served as a staff assistant to Allegheny County Commissioner Tom Foerster from 1993 through 1996. In 1997, he was elected to represent 4th district of the Pittsburgh City Council at the age of 27, which made him the youngest person elected to that body at that time.At various times, he served as a member of the Brookline Area Community Council, as chairman of the Pittsburgh Public Safety Services committee, and on the board of the Penn State Allegheny County Cooperative Extension. He co-founded the Police and Communities Together (PACT) organization and served as president of the South Pittsburgh Housing Task Force. He served on the board of the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (Alcosan) until he was removed from the board in 2008 by Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.Diven won election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in November 2000, following the resignation of Frank Gigliotti, who was convicted of soliciting bribes. During his tenure, Diven clashed with Jack Wagner, Bill DeWeese and the leadership of the House Democratic Caucus, who later backed Richard A. Nerone's unsuccessful primary challenge in 2004.Citing the primary challenge and frustrated by the leadership's reluctance to pursue some of his agenda, including making health care benefits less expensive for school districts, Diven became a Republican in January 2005. After he switched parties, the Democratic caucus fired his staff and cut the office phone lines. That April, he unsuccessfully ran for the Pennsylvania Senate seat left vacant by Jack Wagner's 2004 election as Pennsylvania Auditor General, losing to Wagner-ally Wayne Fontana.In 2006, Diven was defeated by Jack Wagner's niece, Chelsa Wagner. Diven returned to the Democratic party just in time to run for District Justice in Pittsburgh in 2009, where he faced and lost to his former employee and successor in Pittsburgh City Council, Jim Motznik.On two separate occasions, Diven was accused and staff members were indicted for forging signatures on nominating petitions.".
