The man of White House party crasher fame, Tareq Salahi, announced a new turn in his quixotic campaign for Virginia governor: a write-in effort for November’s election.
Salahi, a self-described New Republican, was unable to gather the necessary 10,000 petition signatures to get on the ballot as an independent, although he says he has “overwhelming support” for his write-in effort, according to the Washington Post.
If he doesn’t win the governor’s race, Salahi said he would move “toward seeking a United States Congressional seat in an upcoming election cycle.”
Tareq Salahi is best known as one half of the infamous couple that crashed a White House state dinner in 2009 and was later featured in the reality show, Real Housewives of D.C.
