Savannah Chrisley Considering Congressional Run After Securing Presidential Pardons for Her Parents - The Ashley's Reality Roundup

’s future may be in Washington, D.C.
The former star revealed in an interview with on the new special that her time campaigning to have her parents released from prison may lead to a political career.
“There’s been some talk of a congressional run,” Savannah said in the interview. “I don’t know if that will or will not be the thing that I do or if it’s what I’m called to do, but also I believe right now my goal is to speak to younger voters.”
In the interview, Savannah described the work she put in to have parents and ’s tax evasion and bank fraud convictions either overturned or pardoned.
“I worked for two-and-a-half years, I did not have a single political connection, I went to D.C., I forced myself into rooms I was never invited into, I educated myself,” she said.
Last month, President granted Todd and Julie full pardons. Now out of prison, the two have already signed on to a new reality show that will capture their releases from prison and launch of a new business venture, a hotel in South Carolina. Along with daughter Savannah, the Chrisleys say they’re dedicated to fighting for criminal justice reform.
“I didn’t realize how broken the system was, I thought bad people go to prison and that’s what it was, and that is far from the truth because now I have seen all the broken things in the system, where individuals have to be rehabilitated, where we need mental health treatment for these individuals, as well as giving them job opportunities and advocating for them when it comes to that,” Savannah said.
In a Fox News interview with first daughter-in-law , Savannah described some of the work she has planned following her family’s current post-pardon media blitz.
“I’ll be back in D.C. to help other individuals hopefully get home, to implement some things within the bureau of prisons. I reached out to the Chipotle CEO who’s opening 3,600 more stores, I’m like, ‘Let’s hire men and women who are getting out of prison,’” she said.
Both Juju and Lara asked Savannah and her family to comment on her appearance at the Republican National Convention where she talked about her parents’ convictions.
“I do believe that because of [our going to prison] Savannah would have never truly stepped into her true self,” Todd said in the Fox News interview. “To watch your daughter step onto that stage at the RNC and to speak so well and the level of pride that you have as a parent was never the television, it was that moment, because I knew then I had raised a warrior.”
In addition to speaking at the convention, Savannah appeared at various conservative events, including the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in February and the Young Women’s Leadership Summit presented by Turning Point USA earlier this month.
“I realized how important it is to have younger voices in the political world because I truly do believe if we don’t get younger individuals in then the Republican Party could die, so my goal is to encourage individuals who are my age and younger to get out, vote, your voice matters, I don’t care if you are one person, one daughter literally changed the world for my family,” Savannah said in the Fox News interview.
