Former Nirvana star Krist Novoselic will continue to engage politically. However, he has now decided against running for the office of US Lieutenant Governor.
US music fans were eagerly awaiting his decision: Would Krist Novoselic, former bassist of the grunge band Nirvana, run against incumbent Brad Owen in the election for Lieutenant Governor in the state of Washington? Novoselic, a supporter of the Democratic Party, had previously backed Howard Dean's presidential candidacy but has recently shifted to the line of the more successful competitor John Kerry.
US media now report that Novoselic wants to keep his engagement focused on other areas as well. "This whole thing with the campaign" and the prospect of being an official later on is probably not his thing after all, he conveyed.
Last November, Novoselic had still considered running against Owen (also a Democrat, already in his third term). Meanwhile, Novoselic further stated that he has also understood that it is not exactly good manners to run against a party colleague. The 38-year-old, who also lives in the state of Washington, currently has no band.
