My name is Fred Wellman, a 22-year Army veteran, aviator, and lifelong defender of our Constitution. I led soldiers in combat, served in some of America’s toughest fights, and have dedicated my life to standing up for our troops and our democracy.
And right now, I need to speak out.
Pete Hegseth is politicizing the Pentagon and weakening our national security. He’s turning our military into a partisan weapon, and that makes America less safe. As a veteran, and as someone who commanded troops in combat, I cannot stay silent.
I gave more than two decades of my life to the Army. I watched brave Americans give everything for this country. What Hegseth is doing dishonors that service and violates the oath I took.
That’s why I’m calling for his resignation.
If you stand with me, in demanding accountability and protecting our national security, I need your support today for my campaign for Congress.
