AEW president Tony Khan has filed to run for a seat in the United States House of Representatives, according to a recent filing via the Federal Election Commission. The seat, located in Florida’s 4th district, is currently held by Republican Rep. John Rutherford and Khan has filed to run as a Democrat. On top of founding and running the No. 2 pro wrestling promotion in the world, Khan is the co-owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL franchise and the Fulham F.C. soccer club of the English Football League.
Neither the Florida Division of Elections (https://t.co/2cGfCN3ZLc) nor the Federal Elections Commission (https://t.co/BP2247lSLI) lists anyone named Tony Khan as a 2022 candidate for Florida’s Fourth Congressional District.
The fact checking standard for @ProFootballTalk reporting is far lower than that of @AEW’s roving reporter @tonyschiavone24. I’m definitely not running for Congress; this filing is faker than Eddie Gilbert’s apology to Tommy Rich in 1984. PFT sources as trustworthy as @The_MJF. https://t.co/HPdU53GrfY
#Jaguars Chief Football Strategy Officer Tony Khan has filed with the FEC to run for Congress in Florida’s 4th Congressional District. Already heavily involved with the Jags, AEW, and Fulham… now Congress?? https://t.co/Qb9zF1Qx3u
