Democratic, GOP candidates to hit trail together for House seat

By CRAIG GILBERT

Posted: July 23, 2007

In a novel approach to bipartisanship, two Concordia University professors said Monday that they are planning a collaborative campaign for Congress.

Political scientist Jeff Walz, 40, will seek the 5th District congressional seat as a Democrat.

Historian James Burkee, 39, will run as a Republican.

But the two scholars, who have joined forces in recent years as speakers and commentators, will appear together on the campaign trail and combine their promotional efforts.

"We are going to run against each other but with one another, if that makes sense," Burkee said.

Each will be vying for the U.S. House seat held by longtime Republican lawmaker Jim Sensenbrenner of Menomonee Falls.

But the two say their broader mission is to create a model for "what campaigns ought to look like."

The professors will publish a pact laying out their campaign ground rules, from no personal attacks to no money from special interest groups.
