The man known as “Joe The Plumber” is running for Congress.
Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) declaring his intention to seek the congressional seat held by Rep. Marcy Kaptur in Ohio’s 9th district.
Wurzelbacher rose to fame during the 2008 presidential election, when he asked then-Sen. Barack Obama how his tax policies would affect the American dream and the McCain campaign started using his story on the trail.
