Seeing how Kim Kardashian has pretty much done it all, what's left?

Well, if the E! reality star has her way, she may someday be entering the political arena!

Yep. You read that right.

In the above bonus clip from Khloé & Lamar (airing Sundays at 10 p.m. on E!), Kim tells sister Khloé Kardashian Odom, "I've decided I'm going to run for the mayor of Glendale."

However, Kim goes on to explain that "you have to have residency" in the Los Angeles suburb, so she plans on buying a home in the area.

"It's going to be in, like, five years," she says of actually pursuing her political ambitions in a city where many of the residents share Kim's Armenian roots.

Fortunately for Kim, it looks like she already has a couple of influential folks on her side.

"I would support her," Glendale City Councilman Rafi Manoukian told E! News. "I think she would make an excellent mayor."

Meanwhile, councilman and former Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian said he thinks "it's a great idea," adding, "I have offered her the position of honorary chief of staff to my office to help her get acquainted to Glendale."

Najarian went on to explain that to be mayor of Glendale, Kim would have to run for city council, from which they elect the mayor. The term would last one year.

According to the Glendale City Clerk's Office, there have been no inquiries yet from any potential candidates regarding the 2017 Glendale municipal elections.
