One of the men who helped stop a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train in 2015 has announced he’s running for local office in Oregon.
The News-Review in Oregon reported that Alek Skarlatos announced his candidacy on Tuesday for a Douglas County commissioner seat. The county is located in southwest Oregon.
He made his announcement at the county’s Republican headquarters.
Skarlatos, 25, said he has been interested in politics from a young age, telling the News-Review that he would work to create more jobs in the county, with a focus on jobs for skilled trade workers.
He added that he supports Second Amendment rights.
“Somebody is going to have to step up and represent the next generation in Douglas County,” Skarlatos told The News-Review.
