FL: Mask-burning COVID-19 activist enters Fort Lauderdale Mayor's race
He made headlines during the pandemic for railing against COVID-19 lockdowns by leading protests, burning masks and suing Broward County.
Now he wants to take over City Hall by replacing one of the elected officials he regularly criticizes.
Chris Nelson, a DJ, activist and conservative writer who has dedicated much of his online activity to promoting Gov. Ron DeSantis and his policies, has filed paperwork to run for Fort Lauderdale Mayor.
He’s now one of six people in the contest, which also includes incumbent Mayor Dean Trantalis and perennial candidate Jim Lewis, both Democratic lawyers.
