Luther Campbell aka Uncle Luke, the man that brought us songs like "Put Her In The Buck", "Me So Horney" and "The F*ck Shop" has announced he is going to run for Mayor of Miami-Dade County, Florida.
In an Interview with the Miami New Times, Campbell detailed why he wants to run.
I've thought about running for public office before, but someone would always end up talking me out of it, saying, "We have this good person here, he will do good for the community," so I always backed out. But I'd end up frustrated because they didn't do anything. I'd give them ideas and they would just tell me what they wanted to hear..
I get in my car, ride around Liberty City, and everything looks the same as when I was in the neighborhood growing up. I see the same crimes in the same areas. Officers and residents are still getting killed in the community I grew up in. I go to a city like Atlanta that has sensible affordable housing, and no one is being murdered. I go to Miami International Airport and see the same construction that has been going on for like a hundred years. All of that frustrates the hell out of me. Why aren't we getting it right in Miami-Dade? Why is our government only serving one set of people? That's what is pushing me to run
It's not inconceivable that Campbell could win. There's a March 15 vote to recall present Mayor Carlos Alvarez. Uncle Luke is even willing to tax strippers, a main staple during his career and "Peep Shows."
Even though all my stripper friends are gonna be mad at me, I think we can stimulate the economy with a tax on strippers. They make all this money and don't pay taxes. I'd take that cash and put it into a fund where it supports youth athletics for girls like cheerleading or softball. Or it can go to help pay for existing little girls programs that are struggling to get government assistance

Hmmm, would you vote for Uncle Luke?
