Former MLB slugger and devoted MAGAt Mark Teixeira is running for Congress in Texas

Mark Teixeira announced on Thursday that he is running for Congress in Texas.

The 45-year-old Teixeira, who played 14 MLB seasons with the Texas Rangers, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and the New York Yankees, is seeking the 21st district seat that will be open after U.S. Rep. Chip Roy announced he will not seek re-election as he runs for Texas Attorney General

Teixeira, who was born and raised in Maryland and now lives near Austin, Texas, said in a news release that he's "ready to fight for Texas families, conservative principles and the America First agenda."
