Gabriel Gomez, a former SEAL turned investor, will run as a Republican for the US Senate in Massachusetts. Gomez will run for the seat that was vacated when Sen. John Kerry became Secretary of State. According to a statement released today, Gomez is running because politics as usual aren’t working.
“In my military career, at the U.S. Naval Academy, as a Navy aircraft carrier pilot, and as a Navy SEAL, I learned one thing above all else – serving others is more important than being served,” said Gomez.
“As I look at Washington I see a lot of unproductive noise and bickering, and I see two parties attacking each other at all times over every issue. I see gridlock, I see a partisan atmosphere where very few are willing to work together.”
“I’m running because I refuse to be cynical about America or about America’s future. Certainly people will say, ‘this can’t be fixed,’” Gomez said. “But sending career politicians to do the job would be the same old, same old. Our country is better than its politics. Let’s fix it.”
Gomez filed papers Monday and released this official announcement video and statement of his principles at the same time.
Gomez will run in the Republican primary against MA State Rep. Daniel Winslow, a former aide to then Gov. Mitt Romney.
You Mass. republican voters need to wait and see who Karl Rove is supporting before making up your minds. You Mass. conservative voters need to vote for the other guy.
If all this guy is do is talk boilerplate, I’d prefer he just go back to the gym and work out some more.
Republicans have been talking about spending cuts for decades. They have done nothing to produce. We had $1 trillion when Reagan was sworn in. It’s $17 trillion now.
We are completely bankrupt. Only Chinese debt purchases allow us to function. They own us, lock, stock and barrel.
I appreciate the fact Mr. Gomez served his country and showed the discipline and fortitude to become a Navy SEAL. All that means little before the Leviathan that is our broken, corrupt government.
Don’t talk, Mr. Gomez. Do.
If Gabriel really supported President Obama in 2008, he is not smart enough for my support!
