SHAWN RYAN SHOW #126 🪙 Joe Kent | Gold Star Husband and Ex-Special Forces/CIA Operative

Please welcome my next guest, Joe Kent, to The Shawn Ryan Show. Joe is a former Special Forces Green Beret combat veteran and CIA operative with 11 combat tours under his belt. Now running as the Republican candidate for Washington's Third Congressional District, Joe brings a wealth of experience and insight to the challenges facing our nation. He is also a Gold Star husband, having lost his wife, Navy Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, who was killed in action while serving in Syria. In her honor, Joe wrote Send Me: The True Story of a Mother at War, which chronicles Shannon's remarkable life and legacy. In this episode, we discuss Joe's military career, his transition into politics, the loss of his wife, and his commitment to changing the country as a candidate for office in Washington's 3rd Congressional District, focusing his career on institutional change and advising President Trump on national security and foreign policy.
