A former Air Force Pilot recently announced that he is seeking to run for office as a Republican and unseat a vulnerable Democratic senator. Tony Grady used to serve as a B-2 bomber test pilot and spent two decades in the Air Force. Now, he seeks to serve his country as an elected Republican leader.
The Republican Nevada Senate candidate emphasized that America has the wrong elected officials in office and that the country could do much better regarding its leadership. “I really don’t like what’s happening in the United States right now. We’re a great country, and we can do better,” Grady said when asked about his motivations for running.
Grady cited the expansive skillset he has picked up from his military service, claiming he want to utilize it in helping restore the United States to its former glory. “I thought about it, and I realized that I have a unique skill set, meaning I have certain capabilities because of the life that the Lord has blessed me to live. And I want to bring those skills to helping our country over the rough times we’re in right now and get back to being and operating like the great country that we are,” the veteran said.
The former pilot noted he has a unique ability to solve problems, which the United States is currently plagued with. “I commanded the B-2 Stealth Bomber Test Squadron. In that test program, there were a lot of problems that we had to solve,” Grady said. “There are a lot of times that we have to test things that we don’t know what exactly is going to happen, but we have to find answers. And I think our country is there right now.”
“There are many things that are going on that we’ve never seen before as the United States. And so I want to take that experience that I had looking into the unknown and to try to help us get back on track as a country,” he continued, speaking about the distressed state of our country.
Grady also called out his competition across the aisle, claiming they are ignorant of the concerns of their constituents. The Air Force Veteran was sure to slam Bidenomics and the abysmal state of the American economy that his constituents are having to endure.
“We have the wrong leaders if we have a leader that thinks that they can ignore their constituents,” Grady said. “And then, on the other side, we look at that Jacky Rosen is a rubber stamp for Bidenomics. Gas prices are 40% higher in Nevada than in the rest of the country. Nevada families are being strangled by inflation. So, Jacky Rosen is not exercising the leadership to help Nevadans. So, we need a change.”
Grady emphasizes the skillset and talents he acquired as a veteran of the Air Force. He also draws on his experience in leading a small business and the impact of the regulatory environment. Ultimately, Grady is running for office because, like so many Americans, he feels it is past due for a change in political leadership.
“I’m the only Republican in the field right now that has the ability to speak about military strategy with the military instrument of power, the foreign diplomatic instrument of power. … I understand businesses, and I understand regulation,” he said.
