The racy photo of him getting a simulated blowjob while dressed as Captain America, the allegation that he tried to sell the endorsement of Maricopa Sheriff Joe Arpaio to a Goodyear City Council candidate, a stalking complaint by a woman who found him “creepy,” and, of course, his ignominious arrest after being caught by a speed camera for going 109 mph on the Loop 101 in his bitchin’ Mustang.
Mecum has been a political consultant and behind-the-scenes guy at the GOP, and this would be his first foray into the other side of politics. So why does Mecum think he’d be a good choice as one of the 15 members of the water board, which manages affairs of the Central Arizona Project canal?

The CAP canal is one of Arizona’s most important assets. Captain America to the rescue!
