Michigan Furry Brings Honey Badger Energy to Congress Fight
Elyon Badger, also known as Samuel Smeltzer, is running for the Democratic primary in Michigan's 7th Congressional District.
Badger's campaign style is unconventional, often wearing marijuana-themed attire or a honey badger fursuit. Despite the humor, he takes issues like Medicare for All seriously.
He was motivated to run for office after spending "too much" time "yapping" on social media about ways to improve the country.
His district includes the state capital of Lansing and conservative Livingston County.
