Farrah Abraham Announces Run for Mayor of Austin, Texas: “Let’s Keep Austin Weird… and Fair”

Yes, that Farrah Abraham.

The former Teen Mom star, headline magnet, and pop culture lightning rod just dropped a bombshell announcement that nobody had on their 2026 bingo card — Farrah Abraham is officially running for Mayor of Austin, Texas.

Farrah took to social media to unveil her campaign, declaring that her story “isn’t just a headline,” but rather “the blueprint for Austin’s 2026 transformation.” And in true Farrah fashion, the announcement came complete with bold slogans and a full-on vision for the city.

Her campaign tagline? “Let’s Keep Austin Weird, Keep Austin Fair.”

Despite people not taking her seriously due to her past, she has definitely done her research and shown what she is passionate about politically. Abraham says her mayoral run is built on six core pillars, which she believes will reshape the city:

• Family Planning for All – Emphasizing access and brighter futures

• Modern Workers Act – Focusing on housing, work-life balance, and economic mobility

• Veteran Bridge Program – Support systems for veterans transitioning into civilian life

• Safety & Policy First – Prioritizing public safety across every zip code

• Abraham’s Survivor-First Pilot – Centering survivor voices and advocacy

• Senior Housing ATX Cares – Safe, dignified housing for Austin’s aging population

She also encouraged residents to “join the conversation” and help shape Austin’s future, ending her message with a very Texas-coded sign-off: “GO LONGHORNS! AND GOD BLESS AUSTIN TEXAS.”

Farrah’s announcement instantly sent the internet into a spiral, with reactions ranging from stunned disbelief to full-on curiosity. Fans commenting things like "it's not too late to delete this," and "So proud of you!" Whether you know her from Teen Mom, her many viral moments, or her never-ending ability to stay in the headlines, one thing is clear — Farrah Abraham knows how to command attention.

And now, she’s taking that attention straight into the political arena.

Will Austin embrace one of reality TV’s most controversial figures as its next mayor? Is this the most “Keep Austin Weird” move possible? Or is Farrah gearing up for her most unexpected chapter yet?
