Title: Boston Radio Pirate Runs for Mayor
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on March 07, 2013, 1831 UTC

Charles Clemons, co-founder of TOUCH 106.1 FM, is launching a mayoral bid. At his 50th birthday party, held Sunday night at Hibernian Hall in Roxbury, Clemons announced he was running for mayor in 2013.

He founded TOUCH106.1 FM, which operates as a private nonprofit and has clashed with the Federal Communications Commission, with two others in 2005. He said he is leaving the radio station this week.

Wow, a real political campaign by a radio pirate!

(That beats fake political campaigns by a radio pirate all to hell.)

That article's from 2011...when he initially declared his intent. He's officially running now. More info (including some history on his history w/the FCC) here:
