John A. C. Menton (September 4, 1866 – December 24, 1947) was an American politician, the only Socialist mayor of Flint, Michigan (1911–1912).[4] Menton was not only a member of the Socialist Party of America, he was also secretary-treasurer of the Central Labor Council and president of the local Cigar Makers' Union, one of the largest in the city. In 1906 and 1910 he ran unsuccessfully as a Socialist candidate for U.S. Representative from Michigan, 6th District.
Due to a coalition of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, General Motors Corporation and Charles S. Mott in the so-called Independent Citizen's Party, Menton was decisively defeated in the 1912 election, never to serve again.
