“Con Campaign” or “Ex-Con-gressman”

Former Congressman James Traficant, who recently completed a 7-year prison sentence for bribery and racketeering, announced that he plans to run for Congress again in November. Traficant says he has the experience to be effective in Washington. Of course, he’s referring to his experience as a criminal.

Trying to finance his campaign, Traficant is now trying to raise over 1 million cigarettes.

Traficant is considered a long-shot, but he still has the support of his wife. Specifically, his prison wife, Bubba.

Traficant’s campaign slogan is “The buck stops here… in my pocket.”
