Gay candidate leaks his own nudes for ‘transparent’ political campaign

Eric Jon Schmidt is one of several candidates running for West Hollywood City Council – but came up with a bizarre and unique campaign pledge. 

The candidate said he planned to run an “absolutely transparent campaign” for office, sharing a link to a explicit website to which he had uploaded dozens of nudes and pictures of himself having gay sex.

Schmidt, who goes by the name Need2BNude on the site, describes himself as a as “an average, down-to-earth, guy-next-door type”, adding: “Looking at me you would never know that I’m a horny little sexhibitionist.”
