Professional
futurist and Future Blogger regular Jack
Uldrich has 
announced that he is
running for United States Senator in the state of Minnesota as a
candidate for the Minnesota Independence Party
nomination. He will face off against a number of candidates in the
Sept. 9th primary including Jesse Ventura mentor
Dean Barkley and endorsed farmer
Stephen Williams for the right to face incumbent Norm
Coleman-R and Al Franken-D of
SNL fame.
Jack served as Deputy Director of Strategic and Long Range
Planning in Governor Jesse Ventura’s
administration and was previously a Strategic Planner for the
Defense
Department.
In a conversation I had with Jack today he emphasized that he
hoped to
elevate the level of discourse as only an independent can and
raise awareness of issues that our society will be facing in the
years ahead as a result of rapid technological advancements. These
include the impact of
increased life expectancy, not only as it relates to the threat
of social security bankruptcy and healthcare, but other socio-political
ramifications as well.
As a bestselling author on
nanotechnology he is sure to take on this and other hotbed
issues too and will
incorporate his study of new technologies into government.
