Well, there goes your political life.
A little more than a month after she filed paperwork to create a campaign committee, actress Stacey Dash announced that she was no longer running for Congress.
Dash, a conservative best known for her role as Dionne in Clueless, blamed the political process for her decision to end her run in California's 44th congressional district. The seat is currently held by Democratic freshman Rep. Nanette Barragan.
"At this point, I believe that the overall bitterness surrounding our political process, participating in the rigors of campaigning, and holding elected office would be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of my family," she said in a statement posted on Twitter. "I would never want to betray the personal and spiritual principles I believe in most: that my God and my family come first."Every time you start to take Stacey Dash seriously as a prominent Black conservative she just ends up disappointing you.
