Stacey Dash has officially filed to run for Congress in California:
THE HILL – Actress and conservative commentator Stacey Dash filed paperwork Monday to officially run for a congressional seat in California.
The “Clueless” star filed campaign documents with the Federal Election Commission under the slogan “Dash to DC” that show she will run as a Republican in California’s 44th Congressional District. Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) currently represents the district.
The congressional district contains the cities of Compton, Watts, San Pedro and North Long Beach, and has been represented by a Democrat since the 2012 election.
The district overwhelmingly voted for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race.
I’m so glad she didn’t use “Clueless in the Capitol” as her slogan.
According to Ed Morrissey, the district she’s in is D+35:
Odd choice of district. CA-44 is a D+35 district, located in corridor including LA harbor, Carson, Rancho Dominguez, Lynwood, Southgate, Walnut Park. https://t.co/kFgIOgLlB4

She might have trouble making it out of the all-in primary. In 2016, two Democrats ran in the general election.

Yeesh.
Well who knows, maybe she has a chance…
Seriously though, I’ve never thought much of Dash as a political guest on Fox News, finding her to be less than compelling. But maybe she’s boned up on the issues and really wants to give it the old college try.
