Overview
- Paytas said in Jan. 5 YouTube and TikTok posts that the idea to seek a California U.S. House seat came to her in a vivid dream.
- She named a signature policy goal of increasing the minimum age for participating in the adult entertainment industry to 25 and floated the slogan “California could be good.”
- To make the November ballot, California rules require nomination paperwork plus either a $1,740 fee or 1,740 signatures by March 6, with a write-in primary route only advancing top-two finishers.
- A search of FEC records found no campaign filing as of the latest reports, and Paytas has not stated a party affiliation after past endorsements across the political spectrum.
- Coverage notes Paytas’ sizable online following and recent mainstream roles, including a Broadway run and an upcoming appearance on HBO’s Euphoria, as potential amplifiers if a campaign proceeds.
