Are there any other third place finishers of mayoral elections who are running?

God, I hate these people like Wilson and Trump that think that having money means that you have a right to political office.

Although there is something to be said about someone who overcomes personal and or economic circumstances and makes a success of his life, be it financially, academically, or whatever.

This does show he has ambition, ability, and a desire to succeed.

It would be kinda bizarre to see obscure candidates like this guy on a debate stage with Hillary Clinton.
