Frequent candidate enters governor’s race

? Richard Rodewald, a retired automotive engineer from Eudora and frequent candidate for public office, has filed papers indicating he will run for governor in the Republican Party primary in August 2006.

Rodewald, 69, lost a bid last year in the GOP primary for the 3rd Senate District, which was eventually won by state Sen. Roger Pine, R-Lawrence.

Rodewald has unsuccessfully run for state senate several times, the U.S. Senate against Bob Dole, the U.S. House and Kansas House.
