Wayne Messam, the little-known mayor of Miramar, Florida, announced Thursday that he is running for president, launching a campaign that will look to accomplish the unlikely: Turning the mayor of the 140,000-person town into the next president of the United States.

Messam, in a highly produced video released to CNN, tells voters that he is running for president and rails against what he calls a "broken" federal government in Washington, DC.

"When you have a senior citizen who can't afford her prescription medicine, Washington is broken. When our scientists are telling us if we don't make drastic changes today, the quality of our air will be in peril, Washington is broken," Messam says in the video. "Everyday people are graduating from universities with crippling debt stifling their opportunity for financial mobility, that is what's broken with this country."

He adds: "America belongs to all of us. The promise of America belongs to all of us. That's why I'm going to be running for president. To be your champion."
