SC-01: Navy admiral (D) removed by Hegseth announces run for Congress [View all]
Nancy Lacore, a three-star admiral and former chief of the Navy Reserve before she was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, announced a run for Congress in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.
Lacore, who began as a Navy pilot and rose to vice admiral during more than three decades of service, said in a video on social platform X she was removed without cause “along with dozens of other military leaders.”
She added that she “never put the uniform on again” after leaving the Pentagon the day she was ousted, but she noted she “can’t stand by while Americans and South Carolinians are struggling.”
While Lacore registered Tuesday to run as a Democrat, she broadly criticized elected officials in Washington, D.C., for caring “more about party politics than standing up for the Constitution.”
