This reminds me of when porn star Mary Carey ran for governor of California back when California recalled Gray Davis in 2003.

She finished 10th out 135 candidates

The voters of California decided to recall governor Gray Davis by a margin of 55.4% in favor to 44.6% against. Voters elected Arnold Schwarzenegger to become Davis's replacement by a plurality of 48.6% to runner-up Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante's 31.5%. Republican Tom McClintock received 13.5% and Green Party candidate Peter Camejo 2.8%. No other candidate polled more than 1%.
It was a two-question ballot, with the first question being whether the sitting governor should be recalled. The second question was to decide who ought to replace the governor, in case a majority voted yes on the recall question.
There were more votes for Schwarzenegger than for the next three candidates combined, including fellow Republican Tom McClintock. There were also more votes for Schwarzenegger than votes against recalling Davis (some were concerned beforehand that Davis's replacement might not reach this level).
