Business Insider Floyd McLendon, a retired US Navy SEAL running for Texas's 32nd congressional district, was spotted at his campaign kick-off wearing the Navy's dress white uniform. McLendon's choice of attire likely violates Navy regulations. Both the Navy and Marine Corps prohibit the wearing of a uniform at political events — even for "retired members and members of reserve components." McLendon's inaugural campaign event was held in the 30th congressional district, a different district than the one McLendon is running in. Political strategists in Texas described the venue's location as highly unusual for a House candidate. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
