Joe The Plumber ????


I know it's not real estate related, but did you know that 2008’s ‘Joe the Plumber’ plans to run for Congress??

TOLEDO, Ohio — Joe the Plumber is looking at becoming Joe the congressional candidate.
The Ohio man who became an overnight sensation in the 2008 presidential campaign has filed paperwork to run for Congress.
Samuel "Joe" Wurzelbacher’s statement of candidacy filed with the Federal Elections Commission last week says he plans to run as a Republican in Ohio’s ninth U.S. House district. SCARY!!!

The seat is now held by Marcy Kaptur, the longest serving Democratic woman in the House.
Wurzelbacher rose out of obscurity in 2008 after questioning then-candidate Barack Obama about his economic policies, leading Republican Sen. John McCain to repeatedly cite "Joe the Plumber" in a presidential debate with the Democrat.
