Krist Novoselic seeks county office
Nirvana’s former bassist is running for clerk of a rural county to protest Washington state’s method of letting candidates name their own party affiliation.
Krist Novoselic is running for clerk of Wahkiakum County in western Washington.
Novoselic is head of his local chapter of the Grange, a civic organization. His election paperwork declares that he’s running under the “Grange Party” banner, even though the Grange isn’t a political party.
Novoselic tells The Daily World newspaper that he’s protesting the state’s system that lets candidates say what party they prefer when running for office. He says that’s confusing for voters and lets candidates appropriate the names of private associations.

“Kill Bill” star David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room Wednesday, his manager told FOX News Thursday.
Chuck Binder said Carradine, 73, was staying in Bangkok while shooting a movie. The film crew became aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant yesterday. When a producer went to his room, he discovered that the actor had died.
A statement on behalf of his family has yet to be released, but Binder called the death “shocking and sad.”
