Over the weekend, campaign signs for a new mayoral candidate showed up in Lansing lawns and businesses. Ron Burgandy says he s running to make Lansing classy again in 2021.
His platform includes free tacos on Taco Tuesday, reopening the Moores Park Pool and training residents to travel to space.
A disclaimer on his campaign website does explain the whole campaign is a silly joke, especially since Ron is just Will Ferrell s character, Ron Burgundy, from the 2004 movie, Anchorman.
But that didn t stop WKAR s Sophia Saliby from securing an interview with Dr. Kenneth Noisewater about the campaign. He describes himself as Ron s chief political strategist and the founder, man of action and lead bear trainer with Make Lansing Classy Again.
