Day two of filings....

Posted at 6:10 PM on July 6, 2006 by Tom Scheck (1 Comments)

There haven't been too many surprises on the second day of candidate filings at the Minnesota Secretary of State's office. I didn't get a chance to get back to the SOS office at 4:30 so I had to check the filings out online.

There are a few more DFLers filing in Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District. Mike Erlandson was the most notable. He showed up to file with his former boss. Erlandson will run against Keith Ellison, the DFL endorsed candidate. He's expected to file on Friday.

The entire GOP statewide ticket, including Governor Pawlenty and Congressman Mark Kennedy, will hold a news conference and then file on Friday. Jack Shepard is running for Congress again (see earlier post). DFL State Rep. Connie Bernady isn't(see earlier post). To date, the only U.S. Senate candidate to file is Stephen Williams with the Independence Party. He's challenging the party's endorsed candidate, Robert Fitzgerald. There's also Bob Larson, who is running so his son will go back to school (see earlier post).

SHOULD A DENTIST GO TO JAIL FOR HAVING 6 PAIN PILLS IN A PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE WITH A LABEL ON IT IN HIS DENTAL OFFICE CABINET WITH VARIOUS OTHER PRESCRIPTION ANTIBIOTICS ETC. WHILE PRACTICING DENTISTRY WITH A DENTAL PATIENT IN THE CHAIR AT THE TIME OF THE ARREST WHO AS A LEGALLY LIC. DENTIST IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA AND LIKE ALMOST ALL OTHER DENTIST FIND NECCESARY TO PRACTICE DENTISTRY TO HAVE IN THEIR POSSESSION A NARCOTIC LIC. TO PRESCRIBE AND POSSESS THOSE SAME TYPES OF MEDICINES ESPECIALLY IN MY DENTAL OFFICE-

THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT WHO I AM AND THAT I NEVER BROKE THE LAW.

Fugitive seeking GOP nomination
Candidate makes his third run for office
BY PATRICK SWEENEY
Pioneer Press

"In a series of phone calls and e-mail messages to the Pioneer Press over the last two years, Shepard has repeatedly denied setting fire to the office. He also has said that he was allowed, as a dentist, to possess the narcotics that led to his drug conviction."

"After Shepard's criminal record became public two years ago, Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar began efforts to extradite him from Italy. In a statement filed with this year's application to run for Congress, Shepard said the extradition request had been rejected by the Italian government, and that the request was not pursued by the U.S. government."

"AFTER 2 YEARS THE U.S JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS NEITHER ACCEPTED NOR REJECTED KLOBUCHAR'S REQUEST THAT THE UNTIED STATES FORMALLY ASK ITALY TO RETURN SHEPARD TO MINNEAPOLIS." STRANGE????WHY??

Pete Cahill, Klobuchar's chief deputy, said the U.S. Justice Department has neither accepted nor rejected Klobuchar's request that the United States formally ask Italy to return Shepard to Minneapolis for trial.

Candidates are allowed to file voluntary disclosure forms that are posted on the Secretary of State's Web site, www.sos.state.mn.us. Shepard's form, which will eventually be posted on the Web site, according to Kaiser, includes his argument that the drug conviction was improper and that Italy has rejected extradition. The Secretary of State's Web site also includes a link to Shepard's campaign site: www.shepardusgov.com.
