Rapper and community activist Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell says he's running for Congress.
In a statement posted on social media on Monday, Campbell said he's officially decided to run for Congress in Florida's 20th District.
"After decades of fighting for my community—from the courtroom defending free speech all the way to the United States Supreme Court, to building businesses that created jobs across the South, to mentoring and coaching thousands of young people into college—I have officially decided to run for Congress in Florida’s 20th District. My first order of business is to qualify by petition and let the people speak," the statement read, in part.
The 65-year-old Campbell said his priorities include job creation, affordable housing, and investing in youth programs.
Campbell will run for the seat currently held by embattled Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who was indicted for alleged campaign fraud and multiple other charges.
