Texan former Navy SEAL is running for Congress

by ·

Looking to join the ranks of two other former members of the U.S. Navy SEAL Teams to infiltrate the halls of the U.S. Congress, Houston, Texas-based former Naval officer Daniel Crenshaw does not necessarily look the part of a staid, buttoned-down politician.  In fact, rarely ever do you see eyepatch-sporting, facial hair sprouting, necktie-less men cruising around the Capitol Building.

And yet, Crenshaw (pictured above, with eyepatch) is looking to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives seat being vacated by the retirement of Republican congressman Ted Poe in Texas’ second district.  According to his campaign website, the former Navy SEAL Lieutenant Commander (O-4) is a sixth generation Texan, speaks fluent Spanish, and received his commission into the U.S. Navy via the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) at Tufts University.

    Is Mr. Crenshaw a member here on SOFREP?? Not that it matters to support him in his race and potential election but I think that would be cool!!!

    Awesome. I wish Daniel Crenshaw much luck in his campaign. I wish he was in my district. I’d vote for him.

    How amazing would it be if you found out he was a SEAL after being elected? I’m not saying he isn’t an amazing candidate, but there is already some SEAL fatigue in politics. Greitens, Zinke, Taylor, Ventura, this dude.

    Best of luck to Daniel Crenshaw. Texas loves and respects our military men and women so hopefully he will have a good chance.
