Former New York Yankee Mark Teixeira won the Republican House primary in Texas on Tuesday, vowing to carry his Donald Trump-loving policies to victory in November.
Teixeira, a member of New York’s last World Series-winning team in 2009, hit 409 home runs from 2003 to 2016 for multiple teams in the main subjects. He collected 39 home runs and 122 RBIs in the Bronx championship season.
“This is a huge victoryand I am truly honored to receive so much support from the people of TX-21. Thank you! I am so grateful to everyone who voted, made an effort, donated, and most of all, prayed for us along the way. My wonderful family has been by my side every step of the way – my wonderful wife Leigh and our three children – and I have been blessed to have their support as I prepare to serve the country we love. We’re going to run a strong race and get a big win in November, and then get to work fighting for the families in Texas.”
An ad Teixeira shared on Election Day summarized his embrace of Trump’s immigration policies and his opposition to trans athletes in sports and gun reform. “I will never allow them to take our weapons,” said Teixeira, who invested $2.5 million of his own money in the campaign.
His support for Trump’s immigration policies sounded bad a day after Renee Good was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis.
“I stand with ICE,” Teixeira wrote.
