Jake Bequette is a patriot – in every sense of the word.

He suited up in the NFL for New England – the Patriots – before enlisting in the Army, graduating from Ranger School, and deploying to Iraq. Now, with his sights set on winning a U.S. Senate seat in his native Arkansas, the 32-year-old is preparing for what may be his toughest foe yet: the Washington D.C. swamp.
