Ben Higgins Confirms Congressional Run in Colorado
Ben Higgins officially wants your vote.
The former Bachelor contestant has made the political rumor into a reality, announcing today that he is running as a Republican in Colorado’s House District 4.
This Denver State House district that is predominantly Democratic and Higgins will be facing off against Democratic Representative Dan Pabon, according to The Associated Press.
Higgins is 28 years old.
He’s best only known for having starred on the latest season of The Bachelor.
We can’t guarantee that Higgins will keep any promises he makes on the campaign trail, but he has thus far kept his vow to marry Lauren Bushnell.
The couple has somehow managed to keep its romance intact, several months after filming concluded.
Some time later this year, Higgins and Bushnell will even star on the very first Bachelor spin-off to track the lives of a pairing that met on the series.
Ben and Lauren: Happily Ever After will air on the Freeform network in the fall.
“I am definitely not a politician, but I have a lot to offer through my years in the financial service industry and, more importantly, my work in charitable and humanitarian organizations,” Higgins said in a statement to The Denver Post yesterday.
Higgins had previously said the following to Us Weekly:
“People reach out to me about community development and planning and how to counsel places that need help, which is really cool because it isn’t something I necessarily had a platform on before, other than my service, and so through all of that the next question was post-Bachelor, this platform that I now had, what should we do with that?
“And one of the first things that came to mind was I’ve always had a large interest in politics.”
Higgins, of course, has no actual experience in politics.
So this all seems pretty crazy, doesn’t it?
Why would anyone vote a reality star into any kind of political office, right?
There’s no way this will work…

Tennessee Congressional Candidate Busted for Growing A TON of Weed
Flo Matheson wants to be elected to the 6th District congressional seat in Tennessee.
She also wants to smoke a $ hit ton of marijuana.
So now the question raised by Matheson is this: Can she have it both ways?!?
On May 20, police officers in Crossville, Tennessee, raided the home of Matheson, a Democrat who is running in that state’s Congressional primary.
According to authorities, they became aware of an indoor pot-growing operation on Matheson’s property and therefore obtained a search warrant that covered her residence and a barn on her land.
The investigation turned up more than 180 marijuana plants and various kinds of equipment, says Steve Harrington, someone who lives on Matheson’s property and admitted to growing the drug.
Crossville cops confiscated guns, cash and the pot in their search.
Matheson and Harrington also say the police took a generator, weed eater, pressure washer, TVs, a computer, van and a four-wheeler off the property.
The New York Daily News reports that Harrington and Matheson have both been indicted for running a grow operation…
… but don’t think this means Matheson is dropping out of her race.
“I really don’t regret that this happened,” she told a local NBC affiliated, explaining:
“It’s been a life-changing experience for me in that it has made me more defiant and determined to try and get these laws changed.”
Matheson – who owned up to the two ounces of marijuana found inside her home, but who says she was unaware of the giant operation out back – added:
“I smoke marijuana. I’m guilty. I did it… I guess I would say I smoke it about two or three times a week.”
Tennessee’s congressional primaries are scheduled for August 4.
We know of at least a few celebrities who would vote for her if they could…
