Nancy Lacore will spearhead effort to flip Republican House seat in November’s midterm elections
Lacore was among dozens of officers fired during Hegseth’s ongoing elimination from senior military roles of those considered to have crossed the Trump administration, or who do not fit the US defense secretary’s vision for the makeup of the armed services.
After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause. I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving. Join my team at http://nancylacore.com

Nancy Lacore served in the Navy for 35 years as a helicopter pilot, three-star admiral and the chief of the Navy Reserve.
A senior Navy official removed from her post by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last year is running for Congress.
Nancy Lacore, who served in the Navy for 35 years as a Navy helicopter pilot, three-star admiral and the chief of the Navy Reserve, announced a run for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District on Tuesday.
"After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three-star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause. I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do -- and I am not done serving," the now-retired officer said in an X post announcing her campaign.
Lacore was removed in August, along with Rear Adm. Milton Sands, who led the Naval Special Warfare Command, and Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, who led the Defense Intelligence Agency and oversaw the DIA's preliminary assessment of the U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites.
The Defense Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday when asked about Lacore's claim she was fired without cause.
South Carolina's 1st District, a right-leaning seat that includes Charleston, was won by President Donald Trump in 2024 and 2020. The seat is currently represented by Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who is running for governor of South Carolina.
