It’s not joke that at one point in time, the ShamWow Guy was one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world.

That commercial, and his face, were EVERYWHERE.

We haven’t heard much from Vince Shlomi, the man behind the ShamWow (and the Slap Chop) recently, but Shlomi has come back into the public limelight, and announced his intention to run for Congress.

According to Chron, this past Friday the name "Offer Vince 'ShamWow' Shlomi" filed for candidacy to be the Texas District 31 congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives.

He has entered the Republican primary for District 31, an area north of Austin.
