Former 2 Live Crew front man and current high school football coach Luther Campbell is considering a run for mayor in Miami-Dade County, Florida. And he says if his constituents elect him, his time in office will be a reality show.

If incumbent Carlos Alvarez is recalled in an upcoming vote, Campbell said he’ll do it. Via his blog, he said the reality show would provide long needed transparency of what’s really going on in the office.

“Cameras are going to capture when some lobbyist comes to see me to lobby me on some [stuff] they want approved. The cameras are going to be rolling when a commissioner meets with me when I want to talk about the things we need to build for this community. The voters are going to know who is full of [stuff] and who isn’t if I am elected mayor,” he wrote.

Although Campbell, an assistant football coach for Miami Central High School, has not officially announced anything, he’s already getting support, at least in his eyes.

“With Rick Scott winning the governor’s seat,” he mentioned, “I don’t see how I could lose.”

A recall election against Alvarez and County Commissioner Natacha Seijas is scheduled for March 15.
