The Green Bay Packers have seen numerous former quarterbacks go on to do pretty remarkable things after their playing days. In Wisconsin, Favre remains an immensely popular figure. His Hall of Fame career with the Packers, his Super Bowl XXXI victory, and his down-to-earth personality made him a favorite among Wisconsin’s blue collars.
Now he has made a final decision whether to run for office or not.
Former Packers Quarterback Brett Favre Decides On Governer Role (Breaking)
Despite living in Mississippi, many Republican political candidates have asked Favre to endorse them in Wisconsin due to his popularity there:
Just last year, Favre was in Green Bay with now United States President Donald Trump at a rally in which he endorsed his frequent golf partner and friend. He also endorsed Brad Schimel for the state supreme court before he was defeated Susan Crawford.
Earlier this month, the conservative X (formerly Twitter) account Wisconsin Right Now posted, “Dear @BrettFavre, would you consider running against @GovEvers?”
This post fuel speculation that the former Packers quarterback might run for Governor of Wisconsin, despite the fact that he is not a resident of the state.
Per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, that is not something the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback is planning on doing:
But a spokesperson for Favre told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel “that is not in the cards for him.”
Of course, a run for any political office would mean that many of the skeletons in Favre’s closet would be exposed again. From his controversial text messaging with Jenn Sterger while playing with the New York Jets to the Mississippi Welfare Scandal, there are plenty of things any potential political opponent would be able to use against him in a race.
Fans have been talking about Favre all over Twitter (X) recently:
