Who is he?

A former Navy SEAL, Eli left the University of Arizona after the 9/11 attacks to enlist in the Navy, serving for 13 years and completing five wartime deployments, three of which were with SEAL Team 3 in Iraq. After his military service, Eli co-founded Bottle Breacher, a business that crafts bottle openers from decommissioned .50-caliber bullets (which received an investment on Shark Tank!) and employs and gives back to veterans. His transition from the battlefield to business eventually led him into politics.

What’s he saying?

“As a Navy SEAL in Iraq, I stopped terrorists from wreaking havoc. As your Congressman and member of the Homeland Security Committee, I am working to stop terrorists, human traffickers, and cartel drug dealers from infiltrating our nation.”
