mathematicians in other action

Which mathematicians were also politicians or politically active?

I know that ...
Laplace was a big guy 4u with Napoleon.
Lagrange became a senator later in life.
Rodrigues published his SO(3) result, then became a banker and socialist reformer.
Mahalanobis developed and implemented Marxist planning in India.

Any more interesting claims to generally being known beyond the academic or scientific realm?
