Arizona congressional candidate and former NFL Kicker Jay Feely is getting national support from Republicans seeking to hold majorities in Congress.
The National Republican Congressional Committee announced Tuesday morning that it had added Feely to its initial list of nine candidates for the “2026 MAGA Majority.” President Donald Trump endorsed Feely in January for Arizona’s 1st Congressional District and, with his prior endorsement of Gina Swoboda, who is now running for secretary of state, Feely is the only candidate endorsed by the president in the race.
“Jay Feely has what it takes to go the distance and deliver a powerful election victory in November. As a conservative who will keep taxes low, grow the economy instead of government spending and protect our Arizona way of life, Jay represents everything the socialist Left fears,” NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen said in a statement.
