Man Files For Two Offices In Two Parties

A man from Camden County with a history of unsuccessful attempts at public office filed to run for two different seats -- once as a Republican and once as a Democrat. Bernie Mowinski says he’s doing it to prove a point.

The Lake Sun Leader has more.

Mowinski filed to run as a Republican for Camden County assessor and as a Democratic representative for Jasper Township. While he says he disagrees with the practice, nothing in state law prevents him from doing it.

Mowinski was convicted in 2006 for misdemeanor stealing for in a theft from a trailer. Shortly after the conviction, he lost an election to the state House.
