Kevin Johnson to run for mayor of Sacremento

He just may folks. The 42-year-old, former NBA point guard has announced that he will challenge incumbent Heather Fargo in Sacramento's municipal election this June. Johnson made the announcement at a news conference yesterday at the Guild Theater in Oak Park, a low-income Sacramento neighborhood where he grew up and where he has devoted himself to urban renewal projects after retiring from the NBA.

Johnson, who did not take questions at his news conference, is the only serious opponent to Fargo, who has governed the capital city for the last three terms.

Whoever thought that the 1992 Phoenix Suns would become so politically involved?! Or at least attempt to. Or in Charles Barkley's case, talk about being politically invovled.
