Dr. Death, Jack Kevorkian, seeks a House seat or else
Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the famous Dr. Death who's on parole from prison
for helping a Michigan man with Lou Gehrig's disease die in the
1990s, has decided to run for a seat in the U.S. House of
Representatives as an independent.
According to the Oakland Press, Kevorkian, who was released from
prison in June after serving a prison term for second-degree murder,
plans a formal announcement next week that he will seek election from
Michigan's 9th District (Oakland County), challenging Republican
incumbent Jack Knollenberg.
Kevorkian was convicted in 1998 of assisting in the suicide death of
Thomas Youk and has been in prison since. Getting out of prison and
running for election to Congress is a reversal of the normal order of
events for many federal legislators.
"We need some honesty and sincerity instead of corrupt government in
Washington," Kevorkian told the paper.
Kevorkian has said he assisted in the deaths of more than 100 people
during the 1990s.
The ex-pathologist is required to gather 3,000 signatures on a
petition in order to get on the ballot as an independent. No word on
what Kevorkian will do to you if you don't sign.
