Candidate for U.S. Senate 'resides' at Greyhound Bus Lines station By Anna Krejci News-Chronicle At first glance, the roster of candidates running to represent Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate seem to live in traditional places, but one candidate listed the Greyhound Bus Lines station in Green Bay, 800 Cedar St., as his residence. Eugene A. Hem is running as an independent for the office currently held by U.S. Senator Russ Feingold, and according to the roster of registered candidates from the Wisconsin State Elections Board, Hem lives at 800 Cedar St., Green Bay, WI 54301 - the bus station. Kevin Kennedy, executive director of the Wisconsin State Elections Board, said Hem has run for public office before. Once Hem ran for state superintendent of public instruction. He has run for other partisan offices as well, he said. "I don't see this as an impediment to him getting his name on the ballot," Kennedy said of the discovery Hem listed a bus station as his residence. According to the Constitution, a candidate can run for the Senate if he or she is at least 30 years old, is a U.S. citizen for nine years and is an inhabitant of the state in which he or she is seeking to represent. Kennedy, who said the elections board was unaware that Hem's address was a bus station, said even if Hem does not reside in a fixed location, he still believes Hem qualifies as an inhabitant. Employees at Western Shuttle, a taxi service that operates out of a room adjoining the Greyhound Bus Station, said they know of Hem as a frequent bus lines rider who regularly stops at the bus line's Green Bay office. The employees asked not to be named. Kennedy said he did not have a phone number for Hem. Hem has always appeared in person at the state elections board office in Madison, he said. Kennedy made an observation that Hem always seemed to be a little out of the ordinary. He said it seemed to take a little longer to explain procedures to Hem than it did to others, he said. Hem was unable to be reached for this article. Hem turned in 2,015 signatures that the elections board verified as they do for all U.S. Senatorial or Congressional candidates. Kennedy said the staff performs a "facial review," checking to see that all addresses are somewhere in the state of Wisconsin. He said in the past they have thrown out signatures accompanied by Illinois addresses. The only other case Kennedy said he knew of where a candidate resided in an uncustomary place was Marc Gumz, another candidate running for the U.S. Senate this fall. Kennedy said he heard Gumz lived in a building on his land that was not a farm house. If a candidate's standing is to be challenged, a complaint must be raised by Friday, three days after Tuesday's deadline for submitting nomination papers.
