Only one month after filing paperwork to run for Congress in California's 44th District, Stacey Dash has revealed to Cosmopolitan that she's withdrawing from the race.

"I started this run with the intention to address the pressing issues in the district where I live," Dash wrote in the statement. "I hoped, and remain hopeful, that I can assist people living here on the national level."

Dash is perhaps best known for her role in the '90s comedy "Clueless." Before starting her campaign, running as a Republican, Dash had been a conservative commentator on Fox News. In her statement, she expressed frustration with the current political climate.

"My goal was, and remains, to improve the lives of people who have been forgotten for decades by the Democratic Party," she wrote. "At this point, I believe that the overall bitterness surrounding our political process, participating in the rigors of campaigning, and holding elected office would be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of my family."

4. "Dash is perhaps best known for her role in the '90s comedy "Clueless."

Ya think? That's like saying, "KITT is perhaps best known for the show Knight Rider."

5. I really loved that movie...

Now I can't even watch it....

[John Fante]

7. I love it too. I haven't watched it since I found out

about Stacy's political affiliation, but I think I could still enjoy it - she only had a supporting role in "Clueless". Alicia Silverstone was the star of the movie and even Brittany Murphy was more integral to the plot.

12. One of my favorites as a teen

Alicia Silverstone has since gone off the deep end (at one point she fed her kids the way a mama bird does), and Brittany Murphy is now dead.

9. "My goal was, and remains, to improve the lives of people who have been forgotten for decades by the

Democratic Party".

10. For Crying out Loud----Stop with the Lies!!! Don't you Rethugs EVER stop??? On any given day, I

see Lies, Cheating and Stealing being reported out of the reThugery and am amazed that you think you can get away with it. Maybe your beyond-stupid deplorable base will always swallow it, but it's going to catch up to you sooner than you think.

13. I was so appalled by her first media appearance, I'm glad she's withdrawn.

15. Good

16. Being a republikan in this climate is detrimental to the health and well being of humanity.

Any Republican who has not stepped out of the party of the Grand Fat orange liar who is handing out bullshit about wanting to improve forgotten people is just embracing the new Republican mantra, which is to lie bigly, transparently, and without a sense of decency or shame.

17. Guess she wasnt as "clueless" as we thought.

Eh? Ehhhh?

[YOHABLO]

18. "My goal was, and remains, to improve the lives of people who have been forgotten for decades by

the Democratic Party" Oh for crying out loud.

19. But she had so much experience.
