Sean Parnell told Breitbart News exclusively on Tuesday he will launch a bid for Pennsylvania’s 2022 open United States Senate seat.
Parnell, a decorated combat veteran and New York Times bestselling author, will make the announcement for the U.S. Senate in front of hundreds of supporters in McCandless, Pennsylvania, Tuesday afternoon. In announcing his candidacy, Parnell draws on his devotion to his three children, fellow soldiers, and his love of country.
“I am not a career politician,” Parnell told Breitbart News. “I am a tried and tested leader. I believe that the American Dream is alive and well and is worth defending.”
“As Infantry Captain, I fought to defend this country from those that would do use harm. In the U.S. Senate, I’ll fight to ensure all of our little ones have the right to live their version of the American Dream,” he continued.
“I’ve led some of America’s finest warriors in battle, and I’m ready to bring that leadership to Washington,” he added.
As an America First style candidate, Parnell has earned the endorsement of Donald Trump Jr. and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA).

.@GReschenthaler on Senate race in PA: "I think @seanparnellusa is our best candidate. He ran an incredible House campaign even though he didn't prevail. He's got a lot of respect with the base of the party and he has the ability to fundraise nationally. No one will outwork him."
