During his campaign, Kent favorably cited the work of white supremacist writer Sam Francis and promoted various conspiracy theories, including the claim that the Covid-19 vaccines are “experimental gene therapy”.
Kent was the Republican nominee again in the 2024 congressional election for the same seat, and lost to Gluesenkamp Perez in a rematch.
He is the widower of Shannon M. Kent, a United States Navy senior chief petty officer and cryptologic technician who was deployed to Syria and killed in the 2019 Manbij bombing.
