PONTIAC, Michigan: A retired pathologist and assisted suicide advocate who claims to have helped at least 130 people die is planning to run for Congress.
Jack Kevorkian, who was known as "Dr Death" for allegedly assisting in the suicides, has been on parole since his release from prison last year after serving the minimum of a term for second-degree murder in one man's death.
Kevorkian, 79, said he plans to run without party affiliation for the 9th District seat in Michigan now held by Republican Joe Knollenberg, who is running for re-election, The Oakland Press reported Wednesday.
"We need some honesty and sincerity instead of corrupt government in Washington," Kevorkian said. He said he would say more about his candidacy next week.
The retired pathologist claims to have helped dozens of people kill themselves from 1990 until 1998 — the year he was charged in the death of Thomas Youk, a 52-year-old man with Lou Gehrig's disease. Kevorkian has promised not to help in any other assisted suicides and could go back to prison if he did.
There was no immediate response Wednesday to a seeking comment from Kevorkian's attorney, Mayer Morganroth.
Kevorkian was released from prison in June after serving the minimum of his 10- to 25-year sentence for second-degree murder in Youk's death. He earned time off for good behavior and spent eight years and 2 1/2 months behind bars.

I’d shoot myself before voting for him.
Jack, “ I promise a chicken in every... no sorry. I meant a suicide machine in every house.”
If “Dr Death” converts to being Muslim, he’s in.
That’s a good one.
Do you think they’ll call use “Dr. Death” on his name plates in the House meeting room and on his office door?
I bet his fans are dying to vote for him.
Considering what Democrats want to do with national security, Kevorkian’s candidacy is appropriate.
A good thing. He’ll draw more Democrat than Republican votes.

What an idiot.
A pain-free way for Michigan to die.
How appropriate...the verminous legislators slowly kill their constituents with higher taxes and fees. Kevorkian will charge the citizens a state fee plus their death estate taxes for doing the job quickly before they move to another state. Michigans finest at work for you.

Well, Michigan keeps electing Granholm, Stabenow and Levin. They must have a death wish.
One of the left’s favorite people. Good chance he’ll get elected by the party of death.
