McConaughey Confirms He’s Mulling Bid for Governor

Actor Matthew McConaughey really is considering a run for Texas governor, CBS Dallas-Fort Worth reports.

Said McConaughey: “Well, thank you, man. I’m measuring it. Look, it’s going to be in some capacity… I’m more of a folksy and philosopher poet statesman than I am a, per se, definitive politician.”

He added: “So I go, well, that’s a reason not to, but then I go, no, that’s exactly why you should, because politics needs redefinition, but I’m measuring, you know, what is my category? What’s my embassy?”

McConaughey still has not stated his political party affiliation, if any.
