Failed Republican Candidate Changes Name To Cesar Chavez
He is now a Democrat, having gotten nowhere as a Republican.
Arizona Capitol Times: “Scott Fistler didn’t have much luck as a Republican candidate. He lost a 2012 write-in campaign against U.S. Rep. Ed Pastor, then lost a 2013 bid for a Phoenix city council seat now held by Laura Pastor, Ed’s daughter.”
“After petitioning a state superior court last November and paying $319, Fistler now legally shares the name of the celebrated labor movement icon, Cesar Chavez. Earlier this year, Chavez (formerly Fistler) became a Democrat, and – before Ed Pastor announced his retirement from Congress – filed to run in the heavily Hispanic 7th Congressional District.”

When I first read this on another website, I thought it was from The Onion. Turns out it’s just another case of “republicans can’t win on their own merits.”

If he really wanted to win elections he would of changed his name to Free Beer, lots of people love free beer.

Where’s his state-issued photo ID? Isn’t this candidate-fraud?
