Let’s be honest. Do you ever feel like you’re living in a town that isn’t yours anymore? They mock your faith. They infect the schools with woke nonsense. Every day, it feels less like the America we grew up in. This isn’t just politics. It’s a fight for the very soul of our country.

Because of this, good people are packing their bags. They’re leaving the mess of blue states behind. They want to raise their kids where common sense is still alive and well. It’s not a retreat. It’s a rescue mission for the American family.

From Daily Wire:

Former three-time All-Star first-baseman Mark Teixeira, one of the most powerful switch-hitters in MLB history who played 14 years in Major League Baseball with the Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels, and the New York Yankees while amassing a whopping 409 home runs, announced he would run for the GOP seat vacated in Texas’ 21st Congressional District by Rep. Chip Roy.

Roy announced on August 21 he would run for attorney general of Texas.

And this rescue mission is producing a new kind of leader. Enter Mark Teixeira. You probably know him as the MLB All-Star who helped win a World Series. Now, he’s answering a higher call. He is running for Congress in Texas to replace the great conservative fighter, Chip Roy.

A Patriot’s Choice for Family and Faith

His reason for getting into politics isn’t some high-minded theory. It’s personal. And honestly, can you blame him? He moved his family from Connecticut back to Texas because he saw the nonsense spreading in the Northeast and wanted no part of it.

“I am a Christian conservative, God-loving man who understood where the Northeast was going and didn’t want to raise teenagers there,” Teixeira said. “The values that we teach at home were not being taught there.”

He wanted to live where you can be proud to go to church, proud to vote Republican, and proud to support our police and military. That’s not a talking point. That’s a father protecting his family.

A guy like Teixeira knows how to win. It takes a solid game plan. His plan for Washington D.C. isn’t complicated. It’s just common sense.

He’s going to work with President Trump to do the things that politicians should have been doing all along. Secure the border. Grow the economy. End the woke garbage in our schools. Promote American energy. And, of course, defend life and our Second Amendment. Simple.

A Record of Conservative Action

Of course, the talking heads on CNN will call him just another celebrity candidate. Are they kidding? This man has done the homework. For years, he’s been working with the Texas Public Policy Foundation—the most important conservative think tank in the state.

He’s already been in the fight for school choice, lower taxes, and stopping the poison of corporate ESG. This isn’t some rookie jumping into the game. He’s been training for this fight for a long time.

Mark Teixeira’s campaign is a big deal. It’s more than just one election. It shows that patriots are done sitting on the sidelines. We don’t need more swamp creatures in fancy suits. We need more fighters like Mark Teixeira, who have lived in the real world and are ready to stand up for the country they love.

Key Takeaways

  • Mark Teixeira is running for Congress after leaving a blue state to protect his family’s values.
  • He is committed to defending President Trump’s America First agenda in Washington.
  • His conservative record is proven through serious policy work, not just celebrity status.
  • His run symbolizes a larger movement of patriots fighting back against cultural decline.
