Florida Politician Claims She Was Endorsed By Jesus

When North Miami voters get into the booth to vote for a new mayor today they will have to choose among a colorful cast of candidates, including a woman who claims she was endorsed by Jesus.

Anna Pierre is likely the best known of the eight candidates vying to be mayor of this city of 60,000.

She made headlines first for her claim that opponents had left dolls with needles at the front of her home, which she claims was an attempt to perform a voodoo hex against her.

Pierre, a registered nurse, emigrated from Haiti in the 1980s where she had a pop hit on the island called "Suk Su Bon Bon," or "Put Some Sugar On the Candy." The lyrics are too racy to repeat here.

Pierre has promised improved access to healthcare if she becomes mayor and claims on her Facebook page and campaign flyers that she received an endorsement from Jesus Christ.

"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

Well played, Jesus, well played.
