Description | Dr. Jack Kevorkian was notified Monday that he has enough signed petitions to run for Congress in the fall.
Kevorkian needed 3,200 signatures by July 13 to appear as an independent on the November ballot.
He will be running against incumbent Rep. Joe Knollenberg, R-Mich., in the 9th District.
"I have a shot at it, but that's all," Kevorkian told Local 4. "That's all I wanted."
Kevorkian also said his primary concern for running is preserving basic rights for future generations.
Kevorkian, 80, also known as "Dr. Death," claims to have helped at least 130 people die from 1990 to 1998 — the year he was charged with the death of a 52-year-old Oakland County man with Lou Gehrig's disease. He served eight years in prison and got out early for good behavior. |
