Navy admiral removed by Hegseth announces run for Congress

A senior Navy official removed from her post by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last year is running for Congress.

Nancy Lacore, who served in the Navy for 35 years as a Navy helicopter pilot, three-star admiral and the chief of the Navy Reserve, announced a run for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District on Tuesday.

“After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three-star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause. I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving,” the now-retired officer  said in an X post announcing her campaign.
