Today, Dr. Jack Kevorkian announced his bid for a 9th District Congressional seat as an independent candidate, with the promise to only stay in office only two years if elected. His priority will be fighting for the right to die.

"You can’t take my innate rights away from me without a fight,” he said.

Kevorkian takes credit for the assisted deaths of over 130 people from 1990 until 1998 and spent over eight years in prison.

Kervorkian's stance on the government is that it is a tyrannical institution: “You’ve been trained to obey it, not fight for it because the tyrant doesn’t like that,” he said.

His criminal history will not have an impact on his running. The only requirements to run for Congress are the 25-year-old age minimum and that the candidate holds residency in the state.

“This is the most important thing in my life right now,” he said. “If I get into the House, it’s not going to be a docile place.”
