Luther Campbell Will *Not* Be the Next Mayor of Miami

Despite an AWESOME campaign slogan . . . "I'm dead serious" . . . and a platform that included taxing strippers . . . Luther came in fourth place out of 11 candidates. He received 11% of the vote.

A new mayor hasn't been decided yet. A run-off will be held on June 28th between the top two vote-getters, Julio Robaina (34%) and Carlos Gimenez (29%).

Here's Luther's concession speech:

Quote, “[We did this] in 45 days with no money, just grassroots . . . $5 here, $5 there. I mean we did something incredible that nobody expected us to do . . . We started off as a joke . . . I feel like right now people take us seriously.

"And I'd like to say we did it in 45 days with less than $10,000, all volunteers, 100%. We had fundraisers where we would raise $50 and fundraisers where we would raise $500 and that was more important than taking any special interest money.

"I mean, we could have easily taken hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we didn’t do that because we wanted to stay true to the people, and that’s what it’s all about: Staying true to the people."
