First Rhymefest ran for Alderman of the 20th Ward of Chicago , now Uncle Luke has announced that he will indeed run for the Mayor of Miami.
The Miami New Times interviewed Luther Campbell about his political aspirations:
What’s with your plan to tax exotic dancers?
LC: 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.
What type of campaign will you be running?
LC: Grassroots! I’ll go after those voters who have registered but haven’t been excited enough to vote. Barack Obama’s crew in 2008. I am going after everybody from 18 to 50 years old. It will be just like music marketing. Fun. We will be having campaign parties before the election to get people motivated, get them behind something historical.
