Miami, FL – Veteran record label executive/2 Live Crew founder Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell’s hopes of becoming Mayor of Miami are one-step closer to reality, as Carlos Alvarez, the current Mayor of the city was voted out of office.

Yesterday (March 15th), voters orchestrated the first successful recall in the history of Dade County, with more than 88% of the voters opting to outs Mayor Alvarez from his position, despite the fact that he had over one-year left in office.

The recall was orchestrated by billionaire businessman/car dealer Norman Braman, who was fed up with Alvarez’ policies, which included increasing taxes to pay for an $80 million dollar deficit.

“When I take Mr. Alvarez’s job, I’ll review the county budget with a fine-toothed comb,” Uncle Luke promised in his column with the Miami New Times. “When I ran my record company, every year we would first go over what was making revenue for us and beef that side up. Then we would cut the areas where we were not generating revenue. The first place we looked was payroll. I’ll do the same with the county budget.”

Luke also said he would raise taxes to balance the budget, as well as introducing innovative new ways to raise money for Miami-Dade County.

“I think we can stimulate the economy with a tax on strippers,” said Uncle Luke. “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.”

In addition to Campbell, candidates for Mayor include: County Commissioner Carlos Gimenez, former state legislator Marcelo Llorente, current Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina and others.
