Former NFL kicker Jay Feely is trading footballs for politics, announcing a congressional run in Arizona with a mission to defend conservative values. The longtime CBS analyst says he’s answering a divine call to serve after radical left-wing violence targeted President Trump.
Feely credits the attempted assassination of President Trump last July as his “wake-up call” to enter public service. The brutal attack exposed America’s dangerous divisions, he says, vowing to fight for unity through strong borders and traditional principles. His campaign kicks off in Arizona’s 5th District, where he’ll seek the seat held by Congressman Andy Biggs as Biggs runs for governor.
The former Cardinals kicker blasted weak immigration policies that let drugs and criminals flood across the southern border. He promises to push for a wall, tighter security, and an economy that rewards hardworking families instead of handout-seeking freeloaders. Feely argues career politicians failed America by putting their own interests above the people’s needs.
With 14 NFL seasons under his belt, Feely says he’s ready to tackle Washington’s corruption head-on. He’s no stranger to pressure, having nailed an 61-yard field goal during his playing days. Now he aims to score victories for faith, freedom, and the Trump agenda that Democrats want to destroy.
Arizona’s 5th District voters will decide if this political rookie can bring conservative leadership to Capitol Hill. Feely’s wife fully supports the move now that their kids are grown, calling it a chance to restore American greatness. The couple believes God opened this door for them to serve.
The left already attacks Feely as an unqualified “MAGA extremist,” but he fires back by highlighting his real-world experience outside politics. He’s not a slick talker making empty promises – just a patriot fed up with woke failures ruining schools, cities, and national pride.
Feely’s announcement speech hammered the stark choice facing voters: preserve American values or surrender to socialist decay. He’s counting on Arizonans to reject open borders, radical gender ideology, and the weaponization of government against conservatives.
The clock is ticking to save the country from Joe Biden’s disaster, Feely warns. His playbook is simple – fight like hell for the people, defend the Constitution, and put America first every single day. Game on.
