Ed Gallrein

Ed Gallrein is a neoconservative stooge who was put up to challenge conservative Rep. Thomas Massie in the 2026 Midterm Republican primary election for Kentucky's 4th Congressional district. Massie had voted against Ukraine aid and was an outspoken critic of perpetual war.

Gallrein claims to have been a Captain in the Navy SEALS, yet has been highly secretive with his background information, claiming it is "classified". In the 2026 primary election Gallrein ran a low-key campaign locked in the basement by refusing to debate Massie and generally avoiding the press.
