Just For Fun: Santa Claus Elected To North Pole City Council

In a few months, eager and giddy children around Pennsylvania will begin penning their wish lists for none other than Santa Claus.

But will Santa Claus be too tied up with his municipal government responsibilities to pull off a successful Christmas?

It’s true: a man who legal name is Santa Claus recently won a write-in campaign for North Pole, Alaska City Council.

The election was last week and results were announced on Tuesday, ABC News reported.

Claus, the former president of the North Pole Chamber of Commerce, told the news network in an interview that he is looking forward to serving the “great community.”

Claus is a cancer patient and child advocate who uses medical marijuana and supports opening medical marijuana dispensaries in North Pole, ABC News said.

According to his Facebook profile, which is public, Claus is the only man legally named Santa Claus to ever to live in North Pole, Alaska.
