Kim Kardashian has revealed that she would like to be the mayor of Glendale, a town in California with a high population of Armenians, CNN reported.The reality-TV celebrity said on her sister's show that she would like to "run for mayor of Glendale" but would first "have to buy a house there."
Kardashian then stated that it was a long-term plan, possibly to be fulfilled in the next five years. Glendale is set to have a municipal election in 2017.
A representative for Kardashian told CNN that the choice of Glendale was prompted by the large population of Armenian residents in the area.
"Kim has always looked for opportunities to grow and also do what she can to help and support the Armenian community," the representative further said.
Though Kardashian may be excited about the idea, the reality of the ambition is tougher than it looks.
A two-step election process requires Kardashian to be elected first to the city council. Then fellow council members would have to select her to be mayor for a one-year term, according to CNN.
