Porn star Farrah Abraham has announced she's running for mayor of Austin, Texas, in 2026. Because, if we're honest, that's exactly the type of mayor Austin deserves.

The only problem? There's no election in Austin this year.

TMZ: There's some questions about why she's declared right now ... Farrah Abraham welcome back to TMZ ... Sometimes people say the less you know, the more you like. You are now giving them many years to make a decision because the election's not until 2028. Why do early?

Abraham: Oh, for some reason, the mayor election is 2026. I don't know, that's just what the office told me as well ... I'm just going to be running for mayor which is 2026 ...

TMZ: Farrah, we just got this in our year, the election is in 2028 ... I think you may have jumped the gun here.

Abraham: I love that I jumped the gun.

Some comments:

But it would keep Austin weird ...

So congrats to the People's Republic of Austin on your next adult film star mayor.
