Keith Russell Judd (born May 23, 1958) is an American perennial candidate for political office. His nicknames include "Dark Priest" and "Mtr. President". He claims to have run for President of the United States in every election since 1996.
Judd was born May 23, 1958, in Pasadena, California. He is married, and professes to be a Rasta-Christian. He claims to have run in every United States presidential election since 1996 and for mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Governor of New Mexico. He further claims to be a former member of the Federation of Super Heroes. Judd has one child, born on September 3, 1990, a son named Marcus Miciah Robertson.
In 1999 Judd was convicted of two counts of "mailing a threatening communication with intent to extort money or something of value" and sentenced to 210 months (17½ years) in federal prison. The conviction has been falsely connected to litigation involving the University of New Mexico which was a civil rights complaint he initiated. His actual crime involved postcards that stated “Send the money back now, Keith Judd, Last Chance or Dead.” and a package containing a semen stained Playboy, a knife inside the magazine, a key chain, and his father’s military discharge papers. He also sent letters to jurors after his trial. He has appealed his conviction no fewer than 36 times, but each appeal has been dismissed for various reasons.
Judd was released in June 2013 on a supervised release program. In October, his probation office sought a warrant for his arrest for violating the terms of his supervision. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, with another 24 months of supervised release. He has since been released a second time under supervision.
As a perennial candidate, Judd has thrice run for president in the Democratic Party's primaries. Judd first did this in the 2008 election cycle, and has continued to run in both cycles since. Each of the times he has run, Judd has managed to qualify to be included on the ballots of at least one Democratic Party's primary or caucus.
