UPDATE: 1/15/26 at 5:50 p.m. EST - Teen Mom's Farrah Abraham is setting the record straight on her political ambitions. "I'm running for Austin City Council District 5 because our city has lost balance - we've gone soft on crime, driven up prices and left working families like mine struggling to keep up.
