"For over a decade I've been the voice of the people," Clem said during a news conference Friday at the DoubleTree Hotel Tampa Westshore. "Now, I want to give the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office back to the people."Bubba was fired from his morning show after the Federal Communications Commission fined Clear Channel $755,000 for indecent comments that aired on Bubba's show.This will be the second time Clem, 38, has campaigned for the office. He was not an official candidate in 2000, but this time, because he paid the $8,584.86 filing fee, he will be on the ballot as the lone Democrat.
Clem will await the winner of the GOP primary between Chief Deputy Jim Coats and Tim Glassburner, a retired Ohio sheriff's deputy.
A registered Republican until he registered with the Democratic party 60 days ago, Bubba says he's "fed up with Republicans."
As opposed to his more famous radio name, the ballot will read "Bubba Clem," his real name.
