Note that as of 7:30 this morning he hasn’t filed petitions with the Dept. of State…
Political activist and former 10th Congressional District candidate Kurt Shotko on Sunday announced his intent to enter the race for the 11th Congressional District seat occupied by U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Nanticoke.Shotko, 40, of Scranton, said he decided to run as an Independent because “we’ve given the Democrats a chance to do something for the future and all I see is stuff from the past.”
Shotko said he doesn’t believe that Kanjorski has “a comprehensive vision for a positive America and is not adequately representing the people.”
Kanjorski, who has been in office since 1984 and is expected to run for re-election, did not return a message left at his Wilkes-Barre office.
The only other announced candidate for the seat is Republican Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, who launched his campaign on Thursday.
Shotko
Shotko is running as a Green or an Independent so I think he has a few more months to file petitions. I can’t find how many signatures he needs but this has the makings of another Romenelli situation. The question is will he get the Blackwater folks to back him.
No Blackwater
Running as an Independent.
