(CNN) – “Clueless” actress and former Fox News commentator Stacey Dash is running for Congress.
Dash, an outspoken Republican, filed paperwork Monday in California’s 44th District, which has a long history of Democratic representation.
The district includes Compton, Watts, San Pedro and North Long Beach.
Dash emerged as a controversial figure in 2016 when she called the “Oscars So White” boycott “ludicrous” and said there was no need for Black History Month.
She has not publicly issued a statement about her run for office, but teased the possibility on social media earlier this month.
