Matthew McConaughey on Wednesday said he was considering a run for Texas governor.
The “Dallas Buyers Club” star acknowledged the possibility of running for office while being interviewed on “The Balanced Voice” podcast.
McConaughey, 51, was speaking of his current roles as a parent and a University of Texas professor when he wondered aloud what his next move in life would be. “And I’m looking into now, what is my leadership role?” asks McConaughey. “Because I do think I have some things to teach and share.

The job only pays $153,000 ha, ha....
Anybody but Beto...
That’s hilarious. Heck, he didn’t even make a good DA in the movie “Bernie.” Not conservative enough for me.
Is he in favor of censorship, like that dunce Abbott?
Alright, alright, alright...
“I was a governor before they ever paid me to be a governor...”

I found a long interview with McConaughey. Skimming it talks a lot about work ethic, not thinking you are entitled, overcoming adversity, talking about not screwing things up and losing one’s freedoms. Talks about freedom a lot - freedom created by investing in ourselves, not screwing up, overcoming, etc.
Makes for a good motivational speech for high school graduates or whomever. I have no idea what his politics are - but from this he sounds fairly conservative.

Above is an actual recent interview on his latest book.
I just got to the part where he says “don’t ask for permission” and tells the story of stealing scrap wood to build a tree house as a kid.
We did just that to build a huge fort in my backyard as a kid!
Yeah Matt you can teach us how to play the guitar while naked and stone or the proper way to hold the bong awhile on Adams st in San Antonio
“That’s what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age,”
He gets my vote. However, if he hires LeBron as press secretary... The Teleprompter ain’t going to read itself.
Considering the Enemedia will pull out all the stops to destroy Texas in November 22 with some leftwing nutjob Rat candidate, Matty M might be a good “independent” compromise until more people wake the hell up.
He’d be easily bullied by the professional activist left if he is not an outright “independent” fraud already.
Do know he has talked about gun control in the past. Come on Texas, you deserve better than that!!
What party?
Is he really a conservative?
I know he’s Christian in an immoral industry, so that must be difficult, but if he announces for anything but democrat, he’ll face the wrath of Cancel Culture.
Get smart, Texas:
Run Nolan Ryan or George Strait against him and that poor cat doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell.....

Killer Joe for Governor?
Yes, the time is about right given Texas not far from becoming a Leftist blue state.........just give it a few more years and the influx of Leftist tards continuing to bail from Cali and those ‘Biden’ influx of Mexican and Central America folks...../s
“The job only pays $153,000 ha, ha....”
I don’t think he needs the money.
“Yeah Matt you can teach us how to play the guitar while naked and stone or the proper way to hold the bong awhile on Adams st in San Antonio”
I live in San Antonio. What do you mean by the Adams st reference?
