Content creator Trisha Paytas considers 2026 congressional bid
"In one of their latest YouTube videos titled "2026 MANIFESTATIONS," Paytas said that they would "love to run" for the U.S. House of Representatives. Then, in a TikTok video uploaded shortly afterward, Paytas said they were "currently Googling" the process of running for office."
""I never thought of myself as a political person until I started having kids and realizing, like, the world could be just so disastrous [and] dystopian for real by the time they get to be adults," they went on. "I was like, 'Alright Trish, enough just, like, shutting it out, being ignorant.'""
"If they do decide to run, Paytas will need to complete several pieces of paperwork in order to formally get their name on the 2026 ballot, according to the California Secretary of State. Then, they'll have to either collect 1,740 signatures or pay a filing fee of $1,740. They could also choose to run as a write-in candidate in the primary."
Trisha Paytas is considering a 2026 run for the U.S. House of Representatives from California. The idea reportedly came to Paytas in a vivid dream and vision. Parenthood motivated increased political interest because of concerns about the future for their children. A stated campaign priority is raising the minimum age requirement for working in the adult entertainment industry. Paytas is an OnlyFans creator and has been in the public eye since 2007, known for mukbangs and highly personal vlogs. Ballot access would require paperwork plus either 1,740 signatures or a $1,740 filing fee, or a primary write-in effort.
