A conservative preacher and 2020 election denier who discouraged his congregation from adhering to COVID-19 protocols is running for a seat in the Texas Legislature.
Joshua Feuerstein announced Monday that he is vying for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives in 2024, with the message accompanied by a photo of him, his wife and their six homeschooled children. He is squaring off against Republican Representative Keith Bell, who won his current District 4 seat with about 77 percent of the vote in 2022.
Feuerstein told Newsweek via phone that he is running against Bell because "nobody else would stand up and run against him." He said Bell's position on school choice was a big factor.

*sigh* More example of GOP infighting. Slightly off-topic, but a different COVID denying preacher passed away in 2021 after similar claim.

A pastor is totally responsible for the calling of the church. But there is no where in the Bible that says the pastor shall I courage not taking the Covid-19 vaccines. I believe that the Lord what’s us to be healthy and prosperous in everything. In a big congregation back home, My pastor back then was very very Pentecostal and great personal friend, he passed and his daughter prohibited the vaccination of the members, and they obeyed her. There may be a huge population in this generation that are so healthy they have never got sick. How about the rest of the world?
