A former mailman who proposed to paint the town hall pink, turn the local town square into a nudist pool, and to plant a marijuana field in the local park has been elected to the Reus, Spain town council.
Ariel Santamaria promised to show up to the town's council meetings dressed up as Elvis Presley if he was elected and kept his word at the town's first meeting on Thursday.
Before being elected, Santamaria who is a member of the Reus Independent Coordination, had also promised the town's 100,000 residents that he would install a GPS system at the police department that would allow officers to track people who are smoking marijuana and provide them with a light if they need one.
An unnamed media consultant who works for Santamaria set up a website for his campaign and followed Santamaria wherever he went, dressed as a pirate.
