BUtterfield 8 41,819 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Matthew McConaughey says he is seriously considering a move into politics with a campaign to become the next governor of his home state of Texas. The actor made the comments on the Crime Stoppers of Houston’s The Balanced Voice podcast, telling host Rania Mankarious that running against incumbent Governor Greg Abbott, who is up for re-election next year, was a “true consideration”. “What is my leadership role? Because I do think I have some things to teach and share. What is my category in the next chapter of my life I am going into now?” McConaughey commented on the show. The True Detective and Dallas Buyers Club star has been branching out in recent years, including releasing a book, Greenlights, last year. The unconventional memoir explored McConaughey’s mantra for living and made several claims that rankled some political commenters. When promoting the book, he made headlines with his comments on the “illiberal left” and cancel culture. Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 50,111 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 What are his qualifications? A governor's job isn't to 'teach' and 'share' experiences, its to govern and make tough, often unpopular, decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody James 1,543 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I think the right would vote for him even though he comes from Hollywood. Hopefully he wouldn’t turn out to be a radical right winger. 🤢 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATCAT 60,896 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Honestly if it takes a little celebrity in places to get people to vote for Democrats, I'm for it.
