Elvis Presley Running for Governor of Arkansas

By Jordan Willow Evans on August 6, 2010 2:15 AM

Torn on who to vote for in the Arkansas gubernatorial race? There is another option besides the Democratic, Republican, and Green nominees. The Associated Press reports:

Elvis D. Presley of Star City filed papers with the secretary of state’s office on Wednesday to run as a write-in candidate for governor.

Presley indicated in the paperwork that he wants to “supply the people with a broader array of employment and newer chain of state government.”
He declined to tell The Associated Press how he got his name but says he is an Elvis impersonator in his spare time.
