Convicted felon and former lobbyist Jack Abramoff graduated from Beverly Hills High School in 1977. Not surprisingly, the future Republican star was active in student government, but lost a student council race to someone named David Hirsch (who, presumably, is leading a crime-free life).
Trivia: After graduating from Brandeis University in 1981, Abramoff spent $10,000 to win election as chairman of the College Republican National Committee. Grover Norquist was his campaign manager and Ralph Reed was later hired as an unpaid intern.
