Farrah Abraham Announces Austin Mayoral Bid, Then Learns Election Isn't Until 2028

A live TMZ fact-check exposed a 2026 timing error confirmed by Austin City Hall.

Overview

  • Abraham announced a run for Austin mayor and launched a campaign website that solicits donations.
  • Her site touts a six-pillar 2026 plan including Family Planning for All, a Modern Workers Act, a Veteran Bridge Program, senior housing, and an “Abraham’s Survivor-First Pilot.”
  • During a TMZ Live interview, hosts phoned Austin City Hall, which confirmed the city’s next mayoral election is scheduled for 2028.
  • Abraham appeared confused as the correction was delivered on air, then said the extra time could benefit her preparation.
  • She later edited social posts to say she is running for “District 2026,” as coverage placed her bid alongside other reality TV forays into politics such as Spencer Pratt’s Los Angeles campaign.
