“As a lifelong conservative who loves this country, I’m running for Congress to fight for the principles that make Texas and America great,” said Mark Teixeira, who also played for the Atlanta Braves, Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels in a 14-year major league career, as he announced his candidacy.
“It takes teamwork to win. I’m ready to help defend President Trump’s America First agenda, Texas families and individual freedom,” he continued.

Teixeira, 45, will run to represent Texas’ 21st District, located in the Lone Star State’s Hill Country north of San Antonio and west of Austin.
The seat is currently held by Republican Rep. Chip Roy, who announced last week that he will run for Texas attorney general in 2026 to replace the current officeholder, Ken Paxton.
In his campaign announcement, the former slugger promised to “work with President Trump to secure the border, grow the economy, end radical progressive indoctrination, promote American energy independence, defend life and the Second Amendment, end endless wars and strengthen the military.”
During his time in the Bronx, Teixeira won three Gold Gloves for his work at first base and was named to the American League All-Star team twice. He retired after the 2016 season, his last with the Yankees.
