Louie the Clown for Mayor of Wichita

03/04/2015

Clown Nation - I want you to know that I am NOT conceding in the race for Wichita mayor. It is extremely suspicious, but the Sedgwick County Election Commissioner is not reporting ANY write-in votes at this point. Don't let them steal the election - call the Sedgwick County Election Commissioner and tell her to COUNT THE VOTES!

City Council member Jeff Longwell and retired advertising executive Sam Williams will face off for Wichita mayor in a campaign that will focus on growing jobs in Wichita.

Even though this is officially a nonpartisan election, I have received some inquiries about which party I am affiliating with. The truth is, both parties have done a lot to try to appeal to clowns recently. But it seems like whether you vote Democrat or Republican, the joke is always on you - because no matter who we elect, their idea of economic development is enriching big business at the expense of creating opportunities for everyone else. So I will not be attending any partisan events during this campaign season and intend to maintain my independent status, as a clown for the people.

Several of you have asked me about yard signs. Since our campaign got started late (for obvious reasons), we were not able to order any in time for the primary. However, if you stop by the campaign office, we do have balloon animals.

One thing I learned while "on the job" all those years is that people generate a LOT of trash -- but PIGS will help dispose of anything. It's about time we clean Wichita up and my proposal is to release 50 free range pigs to help with trash across the city. As it comes time to replace the pigs, FREE BACON FOR THE HOMELESS will be distributed at the new library. Wichita needs a mayor who will think outside the box like this. Thoughts?

I find this sad. The citizens of Wichita need to be able to trust their elected officials. I pledge to you all that I will never misrepresent my qualifications. I don't need to. I am an organ-playing clown, and if that's not enough to get you elected in this town, I don't know what is. I don't need a slick marketing campaign like Mr. Williams because you all know who I am - the same old Louie T. Clown, M.D., PhD, that has always been there for you.

The lack of an active CPA license may be a legal problem for Wichita businessman Sam Williams' mayoral campaign

Guess who didn't get called for this article? All the establishment candidates have to offer are the same old robotic answers. I didn't get to where I am in life by doing the same thing over and over again, even when it is not working. I got to where I am by innovating every single day. Maybe that's why they are afraid to let me participate in this race?

When Wichitans soundly rejected a proposed 1-cent-on-the-dollar sales tax last fall, the part that would have gone toward a jobs “war chest” was at the center of the debate.

A lot of people have asked me why I think I am qualified to be mayor. First of all, as you know, I have spent many years in the city of Wichita. After a while, I didn't have to concentrate too hard to play that organ and I would spend my days in its mirror watching the people of Wichita pass by. While you were watching me, I was watching you. And what did I see? The hopes and dreams of a city passing by; the unfulfilled promise of many lives; and a population far more vibrant and full of potential than the leaders that they had elected. It was during these years that I began to form a vision of what Wichita could be.

I apologize for not updating this page quicker, this is all new to me. Back when I disappeared they didn't even allow graduates of clown college on Facebook! More info on how you can help the campaign is coming soon.

One thing about being kidnapped is that you have a lot of time to think. There were times I thought I might go crazy locked in that dark basement. The same song kept playing in my head, over and over and over again. I wasn't sure if I would ever get out. But those years of solitude away from the keys also allowed me to expand my interests. I thought about all of the good times I had with the hard-working, honest people of Wichita. And I promised myself that if I ever got out, I would save Wichita, the same way Wichita tried so hard to save Joyland. As the SWAT team breached the door and the flashbangs exploded, suddenly it all came together - a common sense plan for infrastructure improvements and financial reform. I knew right then that I had a new calling - to serve the people of Wichita as their next Mayor.
