Former Major League Baseball All-Star Mark Teixeira, who played for the New York Yankees the last time they won the World Series in 2009, announced Thursday that he's running for a House seat in Texas and is echoing President Donald Trump's agenda in his campaign launch. “As a proud Texan and lifelong conservative who loves our country, I’m ready to fight for the principles that make Texas strong and America exceptional,” Teixeira said in a statement announcing his bid for Texas' 21st Congressional District.
