Honest Gil Fulbright

Honest Gil Fulbright is a satirical political candidate portrayed by Frank Ridley. Fulbright originally "ran" for the U.S. Senate in 2014 as an "honest politician for Kentucky" on behalf of RepresentUs.

Ridley has portrayed Fulbright on CNN, The Today Show, Fox & Friends, Al Jazeera, The Washington Post, and The Huffington Post.

Fulbright's campaign got a powerful boost when noted artist Shepard Fairey reimagined his iconic Barack Obama "Hope" poster as a Gil Fulbright "SOLD" poster to help raise funds for the finance-reform-minded satirical campaign. His campaign message was "I'm only in this thing for the money, but at least I'm honest about it."
