Former Navy SEAL Jared Hudson is running for the U.S. Senate as Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) seeks governor in Yellow Hammer.

Tuberville, who has served in the U.S. Senate since early 2021, announced the governor’s bid this week, which opened Alabama’s 2026 U.S. Senate game because the game will be without responsibility.

Hudson noted in his post on X: "President Trump needs combatants, not professional politicians. I'm a former SEAL, not a swamp insider - I'm running for our Senate in Alabama to help protect the border, suppress awakening the agenda and defend our Christian values."

Rep. Eli Crane, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, gave a high praise to Hudson when sharing the candidate’s post on X.

"It's great to see someone like Jared jumping into one of the toughest battles on earth. I'm serving Jared in Team 3. He's a really good guy who loves Jehovah and his family."

"Eli Crane is a friend and God-fearing patriot," Hudson said in response to Crane's comment. "We need more warriors like him in Congress - not resigning and serving the people, not representatives of the swamp. That's why I'm running. I'm going to provide reinforcements for Eli & Pres. Trump to make America great again!"

According to the group's website, Hudson and his wife formed a nonprofit Covenant Rescue Group.

"They see a lack of skills and funds to properly rescue victims and arrest criminals involved in trafficking and child exploitation," the website notes. "They share their passion for children of victims of crime around the world and they decide to become active. They organize enthusiasm, training and expertise to end this evil organized business."
