Olympic champion and Kardashian clan member Caitlyn Jenner said on Friday she has filed paperwork to run for governor of California, in a bid to become the first transgender American to win such a high-profile post.

“I’m in!” the 71-year-old transgender icon and former decathlete said in a statement, adding she will formally launch her campaign—presumably as a Republican—in the coming weeks. Jenner is the most famous non-politician to run for California governor since Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger clinched a shock victory as a Republican in the heavily Democratic state’s 2003 recall election. He served as governor for more than seven years.
