It's True: Stacey Dash Is Running For Congress In California

It's True: Stacey Dash Is Running For Congress In California

Stacey Dash is going to run for Congress. We can’t make this up.

After mulling over the decision, the “Clueless” star filed paperwork Monday to run in California’s 44th district, CNN reports.

That particular district, which is currently represented by Democrat Nanette Barragán, covers Compton, Watts, San Pedro and North Long Beach. Dash has yet to announce her candidacy, but she will likely run as a republican once she does.

“In response to numerous calls for me to run for office, I am considering a run for Congress. Would love to know what my fans and friends think,” she tweeted earlier this month.

It was announced last year that Dash’s Fox News contract would be ending. The actress, an early and vocal supporter of Trump, signed with Fox News back in 2014.
