Rep J.R. Majewski will stay in the race for an Ohio congressional seat after The Associated Press reported earlier this week that he misrepresented key elements of his Air Force service.
HOLLAND, Ohio — Republican J.R. Majewski insisted Friday that he would stay in the race for a competitive northwest Ohio congressional seat after The Associated Press reported earlier this week that he misrepresented key elements of his Air Force service.
Throughout his campaign, Majewski has repeatedly said he was a combat veteran who served a tour of duty under “tough” circumstances in Afghanistan, where by his account he once went over 40 days without a shower due to a lack of running water. They also gave no indication that he couldn't discuss his service because it was “classified,” as Majewski said.
Scott Taylor, a former Navy SEAL sniper and Republican who represented Virginia in Congress, said he doesn't understand why Majewski's campaign refused to explain whether or not he ever went to Afghanistan earlier this week.
