Former NFL kicker and CBS broadcaster Jay Feely is officially looking for a different job.
The 48-year-old announced Tuesday he will be running for a U.S. House of Representatives seat in Arizona's 5th Congressional district during the 2026 midterm elections, seeking to fill the seat of Rep. Andy Biggs, who plans to run for Arizona governor next year.
Biggs, a member of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, won’t the district last year with 60.4% of the vote.
On his website, Feely said he would "fight for border security, protect our freedoms, and put America First." Per ESPN, he formally filed a statement of interest with the Arizona secretary of state on Tuesday, a requirement before candidates can begin collecting signatures to put themselves on the ballot:
"I'm excited about this next chapter of my life," Feely told ESPN.
