PHOENIX, June 2 (UPI) -- A failed tea party candidate has legally changed his name to Cesar Chavez and is running for Congress again as a Democrat. Along with changing his name and party affiliation, Chavez has again filed to run for Democrat Rep. Ed Pastor's soon-to-be-vacant congressional seat in Arizona's largely Hispanic 7th Congressional District.
A two-time political loser, formerly known as Scott Fistler, lost a 2012 write-in campaign against Pastor before losing a year later to Pastor's daughter for a seat on Phoenix's city council.
