The battle to become the next governor of Texas is set to become one of the most high-profile in the United States in 2022. Republican Greg Abbott is trying to secure his third term, while Democrat Beto O’Rourke, who lost the battle for a seat in The Senate, last month, announced that he was throwing himself into the election campaign.
The 52-year-old Hollywood star, known for films such as “Dazed and Confused” and “Dallas Buyers Club”, never said which party he would run for when he considered joining the gubernatorial race.
– Can help
McConaughey has also avoided commenting on specific political issues, nor has he taken a stand on inflammatory issues in the state.
Considering standing for election
– Politicians? The good guys can help us get where we need to go, yes, McConaughey said in the video posted on Twitter.
– But let’s be clear, they can not do anything for us unless we choose to do something for ourselves, he added.
