Former Navy SEAL unveils bid for Tuberville Senate seat
Former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson said Wednesday he would launch a bid for Sen. Tommy Tuberville's Senate seat. Tuberville announced Tuesday he would leave the Senate to run for governor of Alabama. 'I've spent my life taking the fight to America's enemies,' Hudson said in a press release according to the Alabama Media Group. 'Now it's time to continue the mission in Washington,' he added. Hudson formerly served as a SEAL Operator and sniper with Naval Special Warfare and was deployed multiple times to combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, as recorded in his personal biography. 'I'll be a warrior for President Trump's America First Agenda,' he said in Wednesday's release. Over the last few years, Hudson has served as CEO and founder of The Shooting Institute (TSI), a tactical expertise training organization formatted to train law enforcement agencies, service members and officials with the Department of Defense. He and his wife Lauren also co-founded the Covenant Rescue Group non-profit to combat human trafficking. Hudson previously ran for Jefferson County sheriff in 2022, earning 48 percent of votes but losing to Sheriff Mark Pettway. Democrat Kyle Sweetser previously announced his intention to run for the Senate seat in Alabama now held by Tuberville.
