An 87-year-old nudist is running for sheriff in Washington State.

Dave Olinger of Oak Harbor, made the decision to run for mayor because of he desire to seek change in local politics, reports The Los Angeles Times.

The incumbent Island County sheriff, Mark Brown, was reportedly running unopposed and as a Republican, which Olinger said was not right.

Olinger said he originally wanted to run as a member of the nudist party, but settled for the Democratic party after learning the state didn’t recognize the nudist party as a political organization.

"I think he watches too much of [The Daily Show's] Jon Stewart," his wife, Kay told the Whidbey News-Times.

Olinger has a political science degree from UC Berkeley and says he hopes to at least make the general election ticket.

He wants more transparency in government.

[Slings and Arrows]

"Stop, or I'll wish I could shoot!"

Where do you pin the badge? Or at 87 does it fit in one of the skin folds?

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m more concerned about where he keeps his baton.

[maddog55]

Or grabs the right baton if needed!

[Slings and Arrows]

He’ll probably be against concealed weapons.

[Titan Magroyne]

It would be GREAT if he won. His fellow travelers might actually learn that government is not the source of all good things, and that self-reliance is a virtue.

[Slings and Arrows]

Grabbing the wrong baton certainly won’t do him any good.

[Slings and Arrows]

I think they’ll learn things they’ll never forget.

He needs to get his money back.

[C. Edmund Wright]

He’s 87 and still watches the Daily Show a lot? I think this is called “arrested development”

[Slings and Arrows]

I think he got exactly what he paid for.

[Slings and Arrows]

*shrug* Berkeley grad.

[Smokin' Joe]

So, if he won, one might expect there would be some changes in the uniforms?

Spare us the pictures, please...

[Flick Lives]

In before the 87 year old nudist pictures.

[Slings and Arrows]

Just think of what the taxpayers will save on dry cleaning!

[Slings and Arrows]

I hope you’ll be waiting a long damn time.
