Santa Claus: The jolly elf who typically votes Democrat sits on the North Pole City Council. He has the requisite fluffy beard and bowl-full-of-jelly belly, and he’s got centuries of marketing behind his name, with no baggage to speak of. Claus really won’t have to do much to attract the voters who take one look at the ballot; some will vote under the influence of a whim or dram of whiskey. Others will be the “to heck with them all” voters who pick Claus as a protest of the whole confusing election process this year.
Claus is a happy liberal who once told Congressman Young that if he ever ran against him it would be “Santa vs. Pinocchio.” Claus isn’t in it for the full two-year term. He’s only interested in serving as a temporary congressman. After all, he’s 74 going on 75.
Claus is an independent, progressive, democratic socialist type, and shares many of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ positions. He was a Sanders alternate delegate to the National Democratic Nominating Convention. Sanders was very, very popular with Alaska Democrats in 2016, beating Hillary Clinton in a landslide at the Democratic caucuses. Clinton seemed to win the party nomination by hook or by crook that year, however, as evidenced in the WikiLeaks episode that showed party leaders colluded to cut out Sanders

Santa’s hat was among those thrown in the ring Friday, when Santa Claus joined the race.
The man once known as Thomas O’Connor changed his legal name in 2005 and now lives, aptly, in the city of North Pole, outside Fairbanks, where he serves on the city council.

Santa supports government policies that protect (1) child health, safety, and welfare, (2) our Creator’s environment, and (3) the weak, poor, and underprivileged, as well as policies (1) that recognize that science, education, and religion can co-exist, (2) that unite, rather than separate, (3) that promote peace, not war, (4) that favor natural remedies, not pharmaceutical sales, and (5) that demonstrate compassion. He believes that love, not fear, is the greatest power on Earth

So in a round about way you're revealing that there is no way possible he counts among the Trump cult?

Claus says he is very well-received because he finds common ground with people.
The name change came to him during prayer when he was living in Lake Tahoe.
“Right after my prayer, maybe 20 seconds later, this white car came up the road, windows were open, and this male voice shouted out, ‘Santa! I love you!’ In February, 20 seconds after that prayer. So I kind of took that as a sign and went to the county clerk the next day and went through their name change process.”
Claus will face off in a primary election in which the top four contenders advance to an August ranked-choice runoff.

It's still seven months until Christmas but Santa Claus is busy in the far north. He's an independent candidate with a long white beard who is vying with controversial ex-Gov. Sarah Palin to represent the citizens of Alaska in the US Congress.
