**Mark Teixeira Launches Congressional Campaign in Texas**
Former World Series champion and New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has officially announced his candidacy for Congress in Texas’ 21st District. The announcement was made on Wednesday via social media, where Teixeira expressed his commitment to supporting President Trump’s America First agenda, advocating for Texas families, and championing individual liberties.
In his statement, Teixeira emphasized his pride in being a Texan and a lifelong conservative, stating, “I’m ready to fight for the principles that make Texas strong and America exceptional.” He highlighted the importance of teamwork in achieving political success and reiterated his dedication to defending the values he believes are essential for the state and the nation.
Teixeira’s entry into the political arena comes on the heels of Congressman Chip Roy’s decision to step down from his position to pursue a run for Texas Attorney General. This shift opens the door for new leadership in the district, and Teixeira aims to fill that void with his campaign.
