Tony Khan, Son of Jags Owner Shad Khan, Denies Reports He’s Running for Congress

Khan was featured in a report on Thursday indicating that he may run for Congress in Florida.

Tony Khan, the son of Jags owner Shad Khan and president of All Elite Wrestling, took to Twitter to deny reports that he was running for Congress in the state of Florida.

Jacksonville Today reported on Thursday morning that he was running, and Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio wrote that Khan filed to run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat.

After the report made waves in Thursday’s news cycle, Tony Khan responded to the report, denying the news of his rumored political candidacy in a tweet.

The fact checking standard for @ProFootballTalk reporting is far lower than that of @AEW’s roving reporter @tonyschiavone24. I’m definitely not running for Congress; this filing is faker than Eddie Gilbert’s apology to Tommy Rich in 1984. PFT sources as trustworthy as @The_MJF. https://t.co/HPdU53GrfY

It’s unclear why Khan’s name was filed for the congressional seat, as he won't be running for congress after all.

Jacksonville Today has since deleted the article from its website.
