Voters in south Florida are going to get a chance to pick a real “He-Man.”
State election officials on Tuesday agreed to let Christian “He-Man” Schlaerth qualify for a special election.
Schlaerth is joining a crowded field of candidates seeking to replace a state senator who resigned earlier this year after using a racial slur and vulgar language in a conversation with two African-American colleagues.
The special election in Miami-Dade County will be held Sept. 26.
State rules allow nicknames to be placed on the ballot if it can be shown that the candidate is known by the nickname.
