Send in the Marine: Jon Henry Announces Run For Congress
John Louallen Announces Candidacy for Tennessee House of Representatives, District 78.
Today, I am honored to announce my candidacy for the Tennessee House of Representatives, District 78. As a passionate advocate for the values that define our community, I am committed to bringing a fresh and innovative perspective to our state legislature.
RIDDLETON, TN – Retired Marine Corps Sergeant Major Jon Henry, a decorated combat veteran and Christian conservative, is officially launching his Republican campaign for Congress in Tennessee’s 6th District.
With over 27 years of service in the United States Marine Corps, including deployments to Operation Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, Sgt. Maj. Henry is bringing his battlefield-tested leadership, discipline, and grit to a new kind of fight: taking on the political elites and woke radicals trying to tear America apart from within.
“I’ve led Marines into battle. I’ve defended American lives on foreign soil. Now, I’m ready to defend the soul of our country in Congress,” said Henry. “Washington is full of cowards and career politicians who have forgotten the people they serve. I’m not one of them. I’m a Marine, a conservative, a Christian, and a Tennessean who’s had enough.”
Raised in the small farming community of Riddleton, Henry built his life on faith, family, and service. From training recruits at Parris Island to leading Marines in Al Anbar Province, to earning a Bronze Star and multiple commendations, his record is one of proven leadership and unwavering courage.
“I spent decades protecting our great nation from threats abroad only to find woke radicals are trying to destroy it from within,” Henry said. “And too many weak-kneed Republicans would rather protect their cushy jobs than protect our values.”
Henry is running on an unapologetically America First platform and pledges to stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump in the battles ahead.
“President Trump needs reinforcements, not more backbenchers, and I’m ready to stand beside him and take the hill. I’ll fight to secure the border, end the weaponization of government, defend our God-given rights, and protect life, liberty, and the American family.”
A proud husband, father, and grandfather, with unmatched battlefield experience and grassroots conviction, Sgt. Maj. Jon Henry is ready to lead the fight in Washington for the forgotten men and women of Tennessee, and he won’t back down.
“Tennessee deserves a warrior, not a bureaucrat. I’ve led Marines in combat, and I’ll bring that same courage, conviction, and common sense to Congress.”
