Leo A. Berg (December 5, 1907 – May 1980) was the Mayor of Akron, Ohio, 1954-61. He was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention from Ohio in both 1956 and 1960. During his tenure, he served as the Chairman to the League of Mayors, bringing him to the US Capitol on a regular basis. His wife, Evelyn, and he traveled to Washington D.C. often, where they spent time with their friends, Jack and Jackie Kennedy. A 1962 study undertaken by the polling firm of Louis Harris and paid for by the Democratic National Committee considered the possibility of running Berg as a candidate for the congressional seat then held by Republican William H. Ayres, but ultimately concluded that Oliver Ocasek would make a better candidate. Ocasek was defeated in the 1962 general election.
