AUSTIN – Celebrities running for office is a tale as old as time, but for the Austinite turned mascot and persona of the state, things may have just gotten a little more real for Matthew McConaughey.
In a recent interview on Hugh Hewitt’s radio program, the actor did not rule out the possibility of running for office in the Lone Star State.
On Tuesday, Hewitt asked McConaughey plainly if he would run for any political office in Texas.
McConaughey said the country has to stabilize after a divisive election before he or anyone can point the country or state in the right direction.
