WASHINGTON — Assisted-suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian plans to run for Congress in Michigan. The so-called “Dr. Death” will run as a candidate with no party affiliation for a congressional seat representing Detroit’s suburbs, an associate said. “He just hopes for some honesty in government,” said Ruth Holmes, Kevorkian’s longtime jury consultant.
Kevorkian, 79, was released from prison last year and remains on parole for second-degree murder in the 1998 assisted suicide of a Michigan man with Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Also in the race are incumbent Republican Joe Knollenberg and Democrat Gary Peters, a former state lottery commissioner.
