CAMPAIGN SEASON KICKS OFF AS RUMOR
MILL CHURNS:

IS GRAMMY WINNER HAZE MULLING
PRESIDENTIAL BID?

By Sky Vasquez, Staff Writer, The Queue

The Iowa Caucus—the official start to the presidential campaign season—is just days away with no fewer than two dozen candidates already in the race.

Among the very early favorites, according to recent polls: Vice President John Arnold; billionaire businessman Hank Goodfellow; and freshman Congressman Carter Thompson.

But sources say yet another contender may soon enter the ring: Grammy-winning hip-hop artist Rocky Haze. Yes, you read that right.

A source at the Federal Election Commission confirms paperwork has been filed on behalf of the star. “Primary ballots in New Hampshire, Haze’s home state, are being printed as we speak—her name is on there,” says another source. “She does things her own way, no one would be surprised if she sat out the Iowa Caucus and got in the game later.”

Whatever her plans, she’s playing it close to the vest. Haze, a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, who has penned articles for Foreign Policy magazine, has yet to publicly declare her candidacy.

Reps for Haze did not return calls.
