Political career

He first ran for congress in Connecticut's second congressional district in 2018, losing narrowly however to both Labor Party politician Katherine Hewlett and Conservative candidate Christina Murphy. In 2020, Schmidt ran for the same seat again, winning in an upset against second-placed Labor candidate Charlotte Webb and third-placed Conservative Caroline Vossburg in a shocking chain of victories, alongside his party-colleagues Joanna Cabet, Johannes Star and Freddy Wong Jr. Schmidt, party chairman up until this point, gave up this post in order to take over the spot as minority leader in the House of Representatives. He held this position until 2025.

"Naked Butt Scandal" and death
In 2025, Leonard Schmidt, still under the impression of losing his wife to a traumatic car-crash, showed up drunk to a session of the House of Representatives, introducing his signature-legislation, The Protection Against Dismissal Act, infront of the House. Upon the house rejecting the bill, Schmidt started berading his Conservative Party colleagues, including Speaker of the House John Shelby. Upon them defending themselves, Schmidt proceded to call them "cunts" and taking off his pants, exposing his naked backside to the House, making Shelby introduce a resolution to expell Schmidt from the House. This situation forced Schmidt to give up the position of minority-leader. A month later, Schmdit caused furore once again by co-sponsoring the resolution to expell him from the House. 5 days later, he announced the end of his career in the House, as well as his run for Connecticut-senate in a primary against future Vice-President Mary-Ann Collins. After his withdrawal from national politics, Schmidt was named secretary of health of Connecticut by Governor Ned Lamont. In 2027, Schmidt's car was hit by a truck, carrying big ammounts of beer to a shop, killing the former representative.
