Levi Johnston has his work cut out if he wants to be mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. Current officeholder Verne Rupright says he needs to start by keeping his clothes on.

If Levi really wants the office once held by Sarah Palin, who went on to become Alaska's Worst Governor Ever and a professional celebrity, Verne has some advice:

"Get your high school diploma and keep your clothes on," said Rupright, who has a B.A. and J.D. to his name, when contacted by celebrity gossip site TMZ.

"Voters like it that way."

We know Levi Johnston dispatches of clothes awfully well, but can he oust Verne Rupright from the mayor's office in his hometown of Wasilla, Alaska?

The 20-year-old Levi Johnston, who just broke up with Bristol Palin, announced he'll be running for Mayor of Wasilla next year as part of his new reality show.

Might he pose a serious challenge to Rupright?

The Vietnam war veteran, who's been in public service longer than Johnston has been alive, says, "I don't know if I could handle those responsibilities when I was Levi's age. I was still trying to figure out how to put on my uniform."

He's got a tough battle ahead. We don't see anyone named Palin casting a ballot in his favor, and even his own mom, Sherry, can't vote for him after her felony drug dealing conviction last year. But it should be fun to watch.

Would you elect Levi mayor?
