Michael Huffington is an American businessman and former politician, best known for serving as a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California from 1993 to 1995. He gained national attention in the mid-1990s for his unsuccessful bid for a U.S. Senate seat in California and for his subsequent disclosure of his bisexuality, making him one of the first major political figures to do so. In addition to his political career, he is also a successful investor and entrepreneur.
