Former NFL Kicker Jay Feely Weighs Congressional Run in Arizona

Feely is building connections with Republican leaders as he considers vying for the open seat in Arizona's 5th Congressional District.

Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker and CBS Sports commentator, is seriously considering a run for Congress in Arizona's 5th Congressional District.
The seat will be vacated by Rep. Andy Biggs, who is running for governor in 2026, creating an opportunity in the Republican stronghold.
Feely has been engaging with key Republican figures, including Rep. Jim Jordan, and has leveraged his connections with Donald Trump, with whom he has played golf at Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster.
A longtime resident of the district, Feely has lived in the area with his family for over a decade, bolstering his local ties.
A final decision on his candidacy is expected within three months as he continues to lay the groundwork for a potential campaign.
