"As a Navy SEAL, I've always put country before self and I'm running for the U.S. Senate to end Joe Biden and Jon Tester's inflation, seal our border, secure our children's future, and put America First! I am humbled and honored by all the support and look forward to finally retiring the #1 recipient of lobbyist cash and pro-Biden liberal Jon Tester," he continued.
The Navy SEAL defeated Montana's former Secretary of State Brad Johnson in the primary race.
The conservative, a Purple Heart recipient, was also endorsed by GOP presidential nominee and former President Trump, who said he is an "American hero."
