Levi Johnston Plans to Run for Mayor in Reality Show

By PopEater / Wire Services Posted Aug 10th 2010 06:21AM

Levi Johnston may be following in Sarah Palin's footsteps. His manager confirmed a Variety report that Johnston is planning to run for city office in his hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, as part of a reality TV show rumored to be called 'Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office.' Johnston plans to run for either for mayor or City Council. "People questioned Jesus Christ, so I definitely don't care about these mere mortals questioning Levi Johnston," his manager said (via RadarOnline.) "People can question whatever they want. I mean, he's going to keep on doing his thing. He was going to do this, even if this wasn't a reality show."

"Let me put it to you like this: If you live in a town and things are happening in that town, and you're displeased with it, what do you do? You try to change those things," Jones said. He declined to give specifics on what Johnston wants to change but insisted the run is real. "This is not a spoof. This is not a joke," his manager said.

According to the Wasilla city clerk, the next mayoral election is in 2011. The candidate filing period for council elections this October closed July 30. Johnston isn't listed among those candidates.

Johnston, 20, is the father of Palin's grandson, Tripp, and the recently off-again flame to her daughter Bristol. He has seemingly come to embrace the spotlight since first being thrust into it in 2008, amid Palin's bid for vice president, when he and Bristol were unwed teenagers expecting a child together.

Since then, he's gone on to pose for Playgirl and appear with Kathy Griffin on her reality show. On Sunday, he walked the red carpet at the Teen Choice Awards with singer Brittani Senser, with whom he agreed to shoot a music video.

Lowest Rank Vote down Vote up Report this

Why mayor, set higher goals , governor or vp would be much better. I still say Sara has had a affair with Levi, it would make a great soap, love triangle.

Grabbin any skirt tail that will keep him in the news because he is a fame hog. He and Lindsay Lohan would be a great couple.

This is a joke right? He couldn't run a campaign. Heck he's too stupid to run a straight line. Maybe he can be mayor of Playgirland. But he'll have to do a better job taking his clothes off. I D I O T.

He is like a wart you just can't get rid of, oh and he is pissed for aplogizing because he can't string the media around with his lies.....he's a DOUCHEBAG!!!!

By Marilyn

I'm sure the residents of Wasilla are smarter than that.

By Scarlett

I'm sure he is as qualified as Sarah Palin. Why not? O.K. maybe he has gotten the bug about fame but he is probably looking for a way to make a living since he has a child to support. I hope he is successful.

As qualified as Sarah Palin? That's not saying much at all. She doesn't even read the papers. Is everyone in Wasilla an illiterate moron?

By Betts & Ron

I doubt he can make it through the application process on his own! He certainly doesn't have any experience in filling out an EMPLOYMENT application.

By Sue Christensen

Well Sarah was mayor so I see Levi as being overqualified for the job

By Go Levi

I would love to see Levi get mayor, City Council, Governor or VP. At least when he speeks people dont cover their ears. Just lisening to Palin is enoph to make anyone sick. I would rather see him on T.V. Then listen to Sarah Palin EVER again. Was it realy a surprise that Levi and Bristol broke up again? As soon as SARAH was told it was done for. It would not suprise anyone that the Big Mouth Momma put the stop to the wedding. They shoud have just ran off and got married and locked the door.

Her little son is more qualified for the job then she. At least people would want to hear what he has to say. I can not see how anyone can listen to anything she has to say.

By maxx

now that heidi and spencer broke up why not levi and spencer hook up and go **** themselves

By wonton

I see education is not important to the people of Alaska.

By Barbara

OMG, are his 15 minutes not up yet? People, we need to boycott reality shows because anybody who behaves badly in public can get one. We have to stop rewarding people for being jerks.

By Joey

Is there any way he could get a part in "Real Housewives of Washington, D.C."?

By itala2

If Sarah could do it am sure he can too!

By Rox

!!!! ???? words cannot truly express the disgust -

By Jay

When this young man first appeared at the Republican National Convention, I asked myself, "what the hell is he doing getting mixed up in this wacky family?" Little did I know that between his mother's drug dealing ways and his own questionable decisions that he would FIT RIGHT IN!

By OfAlaska

Clowns who project all their BS on Alaska can actually swallow this worm's blather I suppose. Having LIVED in Wasilla, I can tell you he might get ten votes from his old hockey team before he's tarred, feathered and rode back to Teddy's Tastee Meats where he used to work to be processed for dogfood. We really should succeed from you idiots down there instead of having to explain the obvious!
