Santa Claus Runs For Office In Alaska’s North Pole

(PCM) What are the odds that a man with the legal name of Santa Claus decides to run for office in the small town of North Pole, Alaska? Well, such is the case, as an Alaskan newspaper is reporting that a man named Santa Claus has just announced that he will be in the running for a seat on the City Council in the tiny city of North Pole, Alaska. The small city is located just south of Fairbanks and boasts a population of 2,000 individuals.

Santa Claus is the man’s legal name as it appears on his Alaska issued drivers license and he also happens to be the former president of the North Pole Chamber of Commerce. There are currently two seats available for election to the City Council, however no one has filed for the seats during the normal filing period. Wonder if he is saving one for Mrs.Claus?  Or how about Rudolph?

Either way, it would make perfect sense! You can read all about North Pole, Alaska’s very own Santa Claus and his political aspirations here!
