Former NFL kicker Jay Feely is trading footballs for politics, launching a bid for Arizona’s 5th Congressional District. The Republican credits former President Donald Trump’s leadership and the 2024 assassination attempt as his motivation to run. Feely says America needs bold conservatives to fight for freedom and traditional values.
Feely openly admits Trump’s near-death experience changed everything. “The day they shot President Trump, I knew I had to step up,” he said. Democrats’ “lawfare” against Trump and the violence he endured showed Feely how broken politics had become. He believes only strong Republicans can save the country from left-wing radicals.
The ex-NFL star vows to secure borders, slash taxes, and protect families from woke ideologies. He’ll fight Biden’s open-border policies that let drugs and criminals pour into Arizona. Feely promises to defend parents’ rights in schools and keep Critical Race Theory out of classrooms.
After 14 NFL seasons, Feely built a career analyzing games for CBS Sports. Now he’s analyzing America’s decline under Democrat rule. He claims pro athletes know teamwork and toughness – skills Washington desperately needs. Feely says soft politicians let China win and cities crumble.
Feely enters a crowded GOP primary for a seat held by Trump ally Andy Biggs, who’s running for governor. The district leans heavily Republican, giving Feely a strong chance. His fame as a Cardinals kicker could help him connect with Arizona voters tired of career politicians.
The left fears candidates like Feely – patriots who love America, not socialist experiments. While Democrats push gender chaos and higher taxes, Feely champions faith, freedom, and hard work. He’s proof Trump’s America First movement keeps growing stronger.
Feely’s message is simple: restore pride in America, back the police, and put families first. He’ll battle globalists who sell out U.S. jobs and activists who hate our history. For Feely, Trump’s resilience shows conservatives must never back down.
This kicker turned conservative fighter embodies the spirit of millions who refuse to let radicals destroy our country. With God, grit, and Trump’s blueprint, Feely says he’ll help Make America Great Again – no matter how deep the swamp fights back.
