Why did Matthew McConaughey not run for governor of Texas?
Matthew McConaughey is an awarding-winning actor, but growing up in a working-class family in the heart of Texas has kept him close to the Lone Star State, including as a professor and potential candidate for governor. McConaughey, born in Uvalde, Texas, has been an active community leader throughout the state for years. He recently called for bipartisan gun legislation following the deadly shooting in his hometown that left 22 dead, including 19 students at Robb Elementary School shooting.
