SCOOP: GOP Navy SEALs pick their man in Minnesota

THE LOWDOWN:

• Republican Navy SEALs in both the House and Senate are lining up behind one of their own in an open Senate race in Minnesota: Adam Schwarze.

• The veteran’s latest endorsement, obtained exclusively by the Washington Reporter, comes from Rep. John McGuire (R., Va.), who spent years as a SEAL himself.

• In response to the endorsement, Schwarze told the Reporter that “Congressman John Mcguire and I have a lot in common: we are both Navy SEALs, pro-Trump, and we put America First.”

• Beyond the support from McGuire and Sheehy, Schwarze also rolled out an endorsement from the America First Veterans Association.

Republican Navy SEALs in both the House and Senate are lining up behind one of their own in an open Senate race in Minnesota: Adam Schwarze.

Schwarze is running for office following nine deployments in 70 countries during his 20-year military career.

The veteran’s latest endorsement, obtained exclusively by the Washington Reporter, comes from Rep. John McGuire (R., Va.), who spent years as a SEAL himself.

Schwarze is “a constitutional conservative, he’s a Christian, he’s pro-gun, he’s pro-Trump, and he’s going to put America first,” McGuire explained.

In response to the endorsement, Schwarze told the Reporter that “Congressman John Mcguire and I have a lot in common: we are both Navy SEALs, pro-Trump, and we put America First.”

“He knows what it takes to get our country back on track. That’s why I'm grateful for his support in my campaign,” Schwarze said.

McGuire’s support for Schwarze, who is running to replace retiring Sen. Tina Smith (D., Minn.) comes after Sen. Tim Sheehy (R., Mont.) endorsed Schwarze a few weeks ago. Schwarze has been leaning heavily on his military record in his campaign, and there are signs it’s paying off already.

Beyond the support from McGuire and Sheehy, Schwarze also rolled out an endorsement from the America First Veterans Association.
