"  Arizona Democrat Scott Fistler recently changed his name to C\u00E9sar Ch\u00E1vez but denies that his name change has anything to do with the famed Mexican-American civil rights leader. &amp;quot;You wanna know what? No, it has nothing to do with him,&amp;quot; the new Ch\u00E1vez told azcentral.com. &amp;quot;&amp;#039;Cause you know what? He&amp;#039;s been dead for, like, 20 years, people. And you know what? I&amp;#039;m not dead.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I decided to change my name because I love sports,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;I like Julio C\u00E9sar Ch\u00E1vez. I like Eric C\u00E9sar Ch\u00E1vez \u2014 the baseball player here on the Arizona Diamondbacks.&amp;quot; Ex-Fistler then went on to say that he also took into consideration his pup&amp;#039;s favorite dog food, which happens to be Cesar-brand. Adding insult to injury, he also managed to totally butcher the pronunciation of his new surname, putting emphasis on the last syllable instead of the first. He lost his third attempt to win elected office. The fake Ch\u00E1vez was kicked off the ballot Tuesday after a ruling that he had provided invalid nomination signatures.
