Jake Ellzey does represent Texas' 6th Congressional District and is confirmed by his official congressional and campaign biographies to be a former Navy fighter pilot and combat veteran.
According to ellzey.house.gov, Ellzey represents Texas' 6th Congressional District and served 20 years in the Navy, including as a fighter pilot flying F-14s and F/A-18s with five combat tours. His campaign site, ellzeyfortexas.com, corroborates this, describing him as a fighter pilot and combat veteran with multiple deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Legisletter.org also independently confirms he is a former Navy fighter pilot representing TX-6. These consistent, non-partisan sources fully support the factual claim made in Trump's Truth Social post.
