"Luther Campbell, the rap artist, coach, civic activist and champion of the First Amendment, is preparing to announce a run for Congress in South Florida. The biggest uncertainty is whether the district Campbell is eyeing will exist for the 2026 election. His candidacy isn't certain, but on social media and on podcasts, Campbell has talked repeatedly in recent days about a congressional run. "I'm strongly considering running," Campbell said. "I'm thinking about it seriously." "I'm 90 percent there," he said on the Joy Reid Show podcast."
""I want to know what your concerns are. I want to know how I can help you before I make this decision on Feb. 15th. I want to come to your house, I want to come to your community center. I want to talk to you, because it's not about me, it's about you. And if I'm going to make this decision to represent you, I want to represent you and the things that you need to get done.""
