That moment changed everything — and it’s why I’m running

Patriot,


I wasn’t supposed to be here.



Before I explain what I mean, let me be clear about why I’m reaching out.



I’m Chris Shea — a retired Navy SEAL — and I just launched my campaign for
Congress. If you believe leadership should be earned and service should still
mean something,I hope you’ll stand with me from the very beginning.

Now let me tell you why this matters to me.



In August of 2011, I was serving in Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL. Like most days
over there, things were moving fast and plans were changing by the hour. I was
slated to move from my outstation to supporting 2 - troop.



Just days before transferring, the troop I was supposed to join got tasked as
a quick reaction force in support of troops in contact (a gunfight) . This is
what became infamously known asExtortion 17. I dodged a bullet (actually an
RPG) that day!



Had things shifted a day or two, I’d have likely been on that flight.



That helicopter never made it home.



Thirty-eight people were killed. Thirty Americans, of which seventeen were
Navy SEALs. Some of them were guys I knew.



They didn’t get another day. I did.



Moments like that don’t make you dramatic. They make you serious. They make
you understand that decisions matter and that someone always pays the price.



I’ve spent my life in jobs where failure isn’t abstract. Where leadership
means owning the outcome, good or bad.



That’s why I’m running for Congress.



Not because I want a political career - I don’t.


But because I believe this country needs more leaders who understand
responsibility the hard way.



This campaign won’t work without people stepping in early.



If you’re reading this, you’re early - and I hope you’ll be part of the team
that helps get this off the ground.

No one does hard things alone.



And I don’t intend to.



Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you’ll stand with me.
