Mr. Irizarry, who participated in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, lost his bid to unseat a Republican incumbent in the South Carolina House of Representatives.
Mr. Irizarry was sentenced to 14 days in jail for pleading guilty to a trespassing charge related to his participation in the 2021 riot but was later reinstated at the Citadel after demonstrating remorse.
His campaign website initially referenced his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot as proof of his conservative values, but the mention was removed after media attention on the issue.
Mr. Irizarry mentioned his riot involvement on his website for transparency but later removed it, mentioning it was at the advice of his federal public defender.
