Tex is headed back to the big leagues.

No, not Major League Baseball this time, but the former baseball great is looking to run for something a little bigger.

As a lifelong conservative who loves this country, I'm running for Congress to fight for the principles that make Texas and America great.

It takes teamwork to win - I'm ready to help defend President Trump's America First agenda, Texas families, and individual liberty.

The former Atlanta Brave (as well as Ranger, Yankee, and Angel) is MAGA.

(He's running in Texas, what did you expect?)

One other former Atlanta Brave is stoked, to say the least.

As Rep. Eric Schmitt and others pointed out, it would do wonders for the GOP's congressional baseball team. 😂

Good luck, Dems!
