Kevorkian Planning run in 9th

Now, I have to admit, I didn't see this one coming. Jack Kevorkian apparently is planning to run for Congress in the 9th Congresional District. I wonder how much press beyond this article in the Oakland Press Kevorkian will get and is he planning on running as an independent or as a Democrat? I don't see him challenging Knollenberg as a Republican, given his views on assisted suicide, although that would be a hoot if he did run as a Republican.
