Bjorklund Files Indy, Joins Stricherz to Challenge Fargen and Lange for House

District 8 is just 9-12-Glenn-Beck-apalooza! Glenn Beck fan Patricia Stricherz was already on the District 8 House ballot as a Republican; she's now joined by Madison's 9-12 Project ringmaster Jason Lee Bjorklund, whose Independent filing just made the Secretary of State's board today. Wowza! Add Sibby to that mix, and this fall promises to be a blog smorgasbord of electoral analysis and excitement.

Let's see, three 9-12ers on the ballot... fee surrounded yet?

Now, if they'll just let Jason bring his whiteboard to the candidate forums. Better start delivering tomatoes, Gerry!

------------------
One more potential Glenn Beck crusader on the ballot: Lonnie Mayer from Tripp has made the District 19 House ballot (that's Frank Kloucek's race!) a five-way tussle. I have no Google info other than Mayer was fishing for a conersvative meetup last fall. He appears to be the owner of Mayer Liquor in Tripp. Hmm... a candidate provoked by the smoking ban, perhaps?

------------------
And no clear political persuasion on this one, but Lake County has a third candidate (and second Independent!) for sheriff: Jason Lurz through his patrolman's hat (and petitions!) in the ring Tuesday. Dang, with three current law enforcement officers all running for sheriff, who's out writing tickets? ;-)
