Matthew McConaughey For Governor Of Texas?

McConaughey in Dazed and Confused

Well alright alright alright. Word on the street has it that Matthew McConaughey is mulling a run for Governor of Texas in 2022:

Rumors of McConaughey making a run for Governor have been swirling for years. But has the time finally now come to Make Texas Alright, Alright, Alright Again? I sure as hell believe so and here’s why.

First of all, he’d win. No doubt about it. I know it, you know it and McConaughey knows it. It doesn’t matter Texas is a historically republican state. Because when it comes to McConaughey, he represents all Texans. Politics, gender and race all become irrelevant when you throw McConaughey in the mix. He is Texas and if you polled the citizens of this great State, you’d get well over 50% who‘d vote for him to be their voice and their representative. Facts.

And while McConaughey has always been a philanthropist and never shied away from using his platform to promote awareness to any cause important to him, there’s no question he’s really ramped it up over the past few months:

My emphasis - since it's awesome. 

If I were a Texan, I would absolutely vote for him. Just because.
