Retired Maj. Gen. Mick McGuire (R) made his official announcement on Tuesday through the release of his campaign video.<\/p>\n<p>McGuire became a key figure over the past year as he led the state\u2019s logistical response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He led over 8,000 members of the National Guard to execute essential tasks for areas that were greatly affected by the virus. The retired general insists this experience has offered him the knowledge and skill to successfully guide the U.S. through difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mick McGuire for U.S. Senate\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TqsWo4tz4-A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>In his campaign ad, McGuire touted his leadership and referred to himself as a constitutional conservative.
