Navy SEAL To Fill Republican’s Seat
BIRMINGHAM, AL — In a bold move that has energized Alabama’s conservative base, former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson announced Wednesday that he is running for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Senator Tommy Tuberville.
This comes after Tuberville revealed his intention to run for governor of Alabama, opening the door for a powerful new conservative voice in Washington.
“I’ve spent my life defending this nation,” Hudson said. “Now it’s time to take that mission to the U.S. Senate.”
A Combat-Proven Warrior With Conservative Values
Hudson’s background is deeply rooted in service. As a SEAL operator and sniper, he completed multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. His battle-tested experience and patriotic convictions make him a formidable candidate in a time when America’s values are under attack.
In his campaign launch, Hudson made it clear: he will be a relentless advocate for President Trump’s America First agenda.
“I’ll be a warrior in Washington,” he said. “Not a politician.”
Fighting Crime, Protecting Families, and Defending the Constitution
Hudson is more than a military veteran. He’s the CEO and founder of The Shooting Institute, a tactical training group that works directly with law enforcement, military units, and Department of Defense personnel.
He and his wife Lauren also founded the Covenant Rescue Group, a faith-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing children from the horrors of human trafficking—a crisis too often ignored by liberal politicians.
Their work has earned the respect of patriots across Alabama who are tired of empty promises and ready for real action.
A Proven Leader with Strong Local Support
Hudson previously ran for Jefferson County sheriff in 2022, earning a strong 48% of the vote—an impressive showing against a Democrat incumbent in a competitive race.
His message of law and order, border security, and protecting traditional American values resonated with thousands of voters.
With Senator Tuberville stepping aside, conservatives are rallying behind Hudson as the candidate best positioned to carry forward Alabama’s proud legacy of strong Republican leadership.
A Stark Contrast to the Democrat Agenda
Democrat Kyle Sweetser has also entered the race, signaling a battle between Hudson’s America First priorities and Sweetser’s progressive platform. For Alabama voters who want secure borders, strong national defense, and an end to Biden-era chaos, the choice couldn’t be clearer.
Hudson’s entry into the race sends a powerful message: The next generation of conservative warriors is ready to fight for the Constitution, the flag, and the future of the United States of America.
