Memphis had Prince Mongo, who ran for both county and city mayorships from the late 70s until who knows. I haven't lived there since 2010 but I believe he may still be running. Claimed he was from the planet Zambodia, and one of his early campaign platforms was Christmas Everyday.
1. “When elected, I will get rid of all pit bulls and the city council.
Taxes will be optional.”
2. “My education policy is simple: Don’t fool around with the ladies. You’ll lose respect.”
3. “As for industry, it will come in droves, lured from all over the world and Bulgaria. It would have been here sooner if I’d told ‘em to come.”
