Description | Former Cumberland (Md.) Mayor Frank Nethken said he was "driven by the Lord" to run for Congress this fall.
"God told me I'm going to be the next congressman," Nethken said Monday on the steps of Hagerstown City Hall, where he held a press conference to say he is running as a Republican for Congress in Maryland's 6th District.
In a 15-minute speech, Nethken, who served as Cumberland's mayor from 1978 to 1982, talked about a variety of issues from the state of Cumberland's public square to the war in Iraq. He said he is committed to public service and puts people ahead of politics.

Nethken said immigration is the "nation's biggest problem," one that could be eased by reinstituting the draft and bringing Reservists home from Iraq to protect the border between the United States and Mexico. |
