“Just moments before the filing deadline, a 6-foot-7-inch former pro wrestler from Las Vegas unexpectedly appeared at the Texas secretary of state’s office to file for a vacant congressional seat,” Politico reports.
“That candidate, Dan Rodimer, is sending shock waves through the race to replace the late Rep. Ron Wright (R-TX) — the first competitive special election since former President Donald Trump left office and an important suburban bellwether.”
“Rodimer arrived in Austin late Wednesday afternoon, telling people he’d been encouraged to run by Cruz and members of Trump’s family.”
