Val Kilmer to run for governor's post in New Mexico
London, Feb 7 (ANI): American actor Val Kilmer has revealed that he is considering running for election as a state governor in New Mexico in 2010.
Kilmer, 49, is thinking about a move into politics when Democrat Bill Richardson's second term ends.
"I'm just looking for ways to be contributive. And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.
Kilmer said if he ran it wouldn't have to be a conventional campaign, and added that he is pretty good at listening to people.
"What I do for a living is listen," he said.
"If I run, I'm going to be the next governor," he added. (ANI)
