Reality TV veteran Farrah Abraham decided to run for Congress after she jumped the gun on running for mayor of Austin. The Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant star announced on Instagram Thursday that she was launching her campaign to become the mayor of Austin. “Austin, my story isn’t just a headline; it’s the blueprint for Austin’s 2026 transformation,” wrote the 34-year-old in a now-deleted post. TMZ then called Abraham to inform her that the next mayoral election for Austin was in 2028—not 2026, as she apparently believed. Abraham then amended her paperwork to jump into the race for Texas’s 5th congressional district, which has been represented by Republican Lance Gooden since 2019. Abraham has not formally declared a political party, but she explicitly praised Donald Trump during his first term and said men would prefer to marry “Republican women.” Her campaign website features AI-generated graphics and only has a link for visitors to be “notified” about future developments. Abraham had her daughter, Sophia Laurent Abraham, in 2008. Sophia is now 16 years old.
