Another candidate is entering the race to replace Rep. Billy Long as the Republican candidate for the 7th Congressional District.

Alex Bryant, Student Life Coordinator/Campus Pastor at the Assembly of God Theological Seminary and Executive Director at Alex Bryant Ministries, announced his run Thursday, Feb. 17, at the White River Conference Center in Springfield. Bryant, the only African-American to have entered the race, has a ministry focused on racial conciliation.

Bryant made a video following five police officers being shot in the line of duty calling for Americans to come together and unite through forgiveness which went viral with over 50 million views on Facebook. Thousands of people responded to the video with support for Bryant’s positions on the future of America.

More on Bryant's entry into the race can be read with the full story on the Branson Tri-Lakes News Website.
