Actress Stacey Dash announced yesterday via Twitter that she has been receiving encouragement to run for public office. Dash tweeted Friday that "a number of people" suggested that she pursue a run for Congress. She asked her followers for their opinions on a potential run for office.
"A number of people online and off have suggested I run for political office. I wanted to see what my online community thinks of this idea as I mull the possibilities. Thoughts?" Dash tweeted. There was also a picture with the tweet that said: "paid for by the D2DC 'Testing the Waters' committee."
The "Clueless" actress posted a follow-up tweet Saturday morning apparently pleased with the feedback and will consider running. "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.
The actress currently lives in California. Dash was fired from her position as a contributor at Fox News after she cursed on-air while commenting on former President Obama's attitude towards fighting terror.
"I didn't feel any passion from him," she said. "I feel like he could give a sh*t, excuse me, he could care less."
