Sean Feucht doesn't look like your average politician, because he is not one. The millennial gospel singer and worship leader is running for the third congressional district in the United States House of Representatives to fight for faith and family.

Feucht, who has done mission work in more than 50 nations, including war-torn regions and places where Christianity is under heavy persecution, announced his run over the weekend with a "Rally for America." He is up against John Garamendi, D-Calif.

"Sean doesn't look like the average politician because he's not," Kate, Feucht's wife, said in the campaign clip. "A man of faith, a man of mission, a man of character and integrity, not driven by ego but purpose.
