In 2004 Richard Duncan of Aurora, Ohio was just starting out his career in electioneering when he ran for US President as a write-in in his home state. His campaign was sort of under the radar and the platform mysterious, as was his running-mate Robert C. Culbertson. Later, Duncan would become known as a perennial candidate.

On Election Day 2004 the Duncan/Culbertson ticket earned 17 votes in the Buckeye State.

Culbertson appeared to be the initial choice for Duncan's VP in 2008 according to the early nomination petitions, but on the ballot (Duncan made the ballot in Ohio that year) the running-mate was Ricky Johnson. Duncan was on multiple state ballots in 2012 and 2016, with Johnson as his VP. Duncan has also run for other public offices in Ohio.
