Uncle Luke for Congress

According to Local10.com, Miami hip‑hop legend Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell says he plans to run for Congress in the 2026 Midterm Election.

Campbell had previously hinted that he was eyeing Florida’s 20th Congressional District, the seat currently held by Rep. Sheila Cherfilus‑McCormick. Now he’s saying the quiet part out loud.

The 2 Live Crew frontman — who made legal and cultural history in the ’90s by fighting for free‑speech protections after police labeled his music obscene — joined Glenna Milberg on This Week in South Florida to explain why he’s stepping into politics.

“I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines,” Campbell said in the interview. “If you want change, you have to get in the game.”

Campbell didn’t lay out a full platform yet, but he made it clear he’s serious about challenging the status quo and representing the communities that shaped him.
