Congressional Rerun

For Immediate Release

Springfield, MO- Cartoonist/activist Nicholas Ivan Ladendorf has officially announced he is making another go at US House seat for Missouri's 7th district. The declaration was first made at a philosophical meeting discussing morality of war, followed by a virtual announcement on Facebook and Twitter. In 2010, Ladendorf received a lot of attention on the internet thanks to his political website being made entirely of infographics and comics. This isn't to say that the candidate is all style and no substance, Ladendorf remarked "I wouldn't be running if I didn't have something different to say. I use comics because, that is how my mind works, and it enables me to express my more nuance ideas without getting caught up in politician-speak."
The updated version of his StumbleUpon favorite website features a poll asking visitors which primary (if any) he should enter. Often referring to himself as a progressive/libertarian (think Bill Maher), Ladendorf doesn't fit neatly into conventional labels. What is clear is that he isn't considering joining the Republican or Constitution party, which isn't surprising when reviewing his positions on social issues.
