Trisha Paytas Weighs 2026 California House Bid

The influencer has not filed or picked a party, facing a March 6 deadline to meet California’s ballot requirements.

Overview

  • In a Jan. 5 YouTube video, Paytas said she would “love to run” for a U.S. House seat representing California.
  • She told TikTok followers the idea came to her in a dream and said she is “currently Googling” how to run.
  • Her stated priority if elected is raising the minimum age for adult‑entertainment work to 25.
  • To appear on the November ballot, she would need required nomination paperwork plus either a $1,740 fee or 1,740 signatures by March 6, with a potential write‑in path through the primary.
  • She has not named a district or party; her past endorsements have crossed the spectrum from Mitt Romney and Donald Trump to later backing Joe Biden.
