Ex-Giants, Jets kicker Jay Feely reveals how Trump assassination attempt inspired him to run for Congress
Briefly

Former NFL kicker Jay Feely has declared his intention to run as a Republican for Arizona's 5th District seat in the 2026 House of Representatives election. Citing a feeling of divine calling for civil service, Feely seeks to enter a political landscape he feels lacks genuine representatives. He is running in a district considered a safe Republican seat and has already received an endorsement from Congressman Jim Jordan. His campaign emphasizes traditional conservative values and the desire to serve citizens rather than pursue a political career for self-interest.
I'm excited about this next chapter of my life. I think that I feel God's calling pressing me into service, and that's really what I believe it is, is the civil service.
I don't believe we have enough politicians that get into political office not for self-serving measures and that get into political office and don't want it to be a career, and that's what I believe.
I'm honored to have the endorsement of Congressman @Jim_Jordan, a fearless conservative and unwavering champion of the America First agenda. His support is deeply meaningful as we launch this campaign to defend our freedoms.
