It hasn't happened yet, but that could be a reality if certain Republican strategists get their wish, the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard reported. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, a 71-year-old member in the House of Representatives, plans to retire, and Tebow lives in the same 4th Congressional District.
“We do not pick favorites,” a key party strategist told Bedard, but “obviously a huge Florida football star would be an interesting candidate for our side of the aisle.”
In addition to living in the Jacksonville district, Tebow also has a business and the Tim Tebow Foundation there. The Heisman Trophy winner expressed interest in a potential run for political office two weeks ago.
“If there’s a chance you can make a difference someday in something, then that would be intriguing,” Tebow told Fox News.
Tebow, who is currently an analyst for the SEC Network, has not responded to the latest rumor. The deadline to declare for the August 30 primary is June 24.
