A queer organizer for the Bazta Arpaio campaign in Arizona dressed up as Selena to convince voters to oust the racist Sheriff Arpaio out of office.

Jerssay Arredondo stars as Selena in "Vota Con Esta Cumbia," a remake of "Baila Esta Cumbia." "Vota este Noviembre, para, para sacar Arpaio," sings Arredondo, which translates into, "Vote this November, to take out Arpaio."

Sheriff Arpaio who refers to himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff," is up for re-election in Maricopa County in Phoenix, Arizona. Arpaio, who has campaigned with Donald Trump, is facing criminal contempt charges.

If convicted, Arpaio could serve up to six months in prison.
