Former Boy Band Member To Run For Mayor

A former boy band member announced his plan to run for Cincinnati mayor Friday.

Justin Jeffre, a singer and dancer in the former pop group 98 Degrees, will launch his campaign April 2 at Purgatory nightclub in Over-The-Rhine.

The club announced the event and publicized Nick Lachey and friends as the hosts.

Lachey, also a Cincinnati native, was a 98 Degrees bandmate. He currently stars in the MTV reality series 'Newlyweds.'

Brilliant!

Oh, this is too cool for school. :MandJ:

RosieRed · 03-25-2005, 01:34 PM

I thought Nick Lachey was the one who wanted to be mayor?

More importantly, is Purgatory a new club? Or am I just that out of it?

zombie-a-go-go · 03-25-2005, 01:39 PM

No, it's just a hip way to say Cincinnati.

I wonder what being a campaign worker pays?

And more importantly, how many cute young girls will I be working with?

Since this guy is somewhat of a celebrity, maybe you will be working with these two.

Reminds me of this game.

If 13 year old girls could vote, he'd be a shoe-in. Thankfully, no one has started a 'childrens suffrage' movement just yet.

Heck... if Jerry Springer can become a mayor in a large city in this country, then I wouldn't put it past anyone (or any urban voters) to win a mayoral election.

Jerry was mayor where?!!? :dflynn:

Chip R · 03-25-2005, 03:42 PM

I wonder if he wins if he'll have 4 aides behind him at all times wearing headsets and coreographed press conferences.

Good point, Chip. I also wonder if Justin will have women wanting "his beads" at press conferences! Gotta be better lookers than Jerry's bead-wanters.

JUSTIN FOR MAYOR!!!

KronoRed · 03-25-2005, 09:24 PM

I hope he wins

CTA513 · 03-25-2005, 09:32 PM

I dont really think he'll come close to getting voted in.

Now if it was Nick Lachey running for Mayor I could see him having a better shot a getting it.

Jessica Simpson as the first lady of Cincinnati.

RosieRed · 03-26-2005, 12:28 AM

Lots more info here. Should have known reality TV was involved somehow.

In other news: Purgatory is at 12th and Walnut streets, the former site of Club Clau.
