There were already seven declared candidates in the race to replace Tyrone Brooks, who resigned in April after pleading guilty to tax fraud.

While a write-in candidate who jumps in the day before balloting would typically have no chance, Killer Mike's name recognition could go a long way in what should be an extremely low turnout election. Although we do think you have to write in "Micheal Render."
