From Clueless to Congress: that appears to be the chosen career path for actress and TV personality Stacey Dash, who first became known to mainstream audiences for her part in the Alicia Silverstone comedy from 1995.

Dash, who also spent three years as a commentator on Fox News until the network declined to renew her contract in 2017, threw her hat into the Congressional ring on Monday. Using the slogan “Dash to D.C.,” the 51-year-old political hopeful will be running on the Republican ticket in California’s 44th district, a jurisdiction that includes municipalities like Compton, North Long Beach, San Pedro, and Watts.

Right now, the area’s representative is Nanette Barragán, a Democrat. The district has been a Democrat stronghold since 2013, although Republicans previously ruled in the area for 10 years. Singer and comedian Sonny Bono was a representative of the district from 1995 until 1998, when he was killed in a skiing accident.

Dash started making right-wing waves back in 2012, throwing her support behind presidential candidate Mitt Romney during his unsuccessful run to unseat Barack Obama. That prompted Fox News, which brought her on board two years later as a commentator on cultural issues.

At the forefront of those issues is her controversial and consistent viewpoint on matters concerning visible minorities. She ridiculed the African-American actor boycott of the Oscars in 2016, when most award categories were viewed as being skewed towards more Caucasian nominees. At the ceremony, host and comedian Chris Rock, himself no stranger to controversy, had Dash appear onstage as the “Academy’s new director of minority outreach program.”

Dash, who’s also known for rejecting the necessity of Black History Month, is also the author of her autobiography, There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative. After making her mark in Clueless, Dash signed on for a brief TV version of the show on the now-defunct UPN.

Her early career included appearances on such sitcoms as The Cosby Show and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, as well as the small-screen drama St. Elsewhere. After her Clueless endeavors, her movie career started fizzling out with not even a handful of movie roles. Dash's last motion picture was Paper Soldiers in 2002.
