A veteran who helped stop a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train in 2015 is running for Congress in Oregon, telling "Fox & Friends" on Wednesday that liberal Democrat Peter DeFazio "doesn't represent" the rural district anymore.

Alek Skarlatos, a veteran of the Army National Guard who served in Afghanistan, said he became interested in politics after speaking with his state senator on a plane to Washington, D.C. and was encouraged to consider running for office.

"I did some research and the more I learned about the [4th Congressional District] and everything that happened to it under the tenure of Peter DeFazio, the angrier I got," he told host Ainsley Earhardt.

DeFazio has represented the area of southwest Oregon since 1987, chairs the Transportation Committee and founded the Progressive Caucus. Skarlatos, who won the Republican primary, said he believes DeFazio is too liberal for the area he represents, comparing the incumbent's platform to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

"He co-sponsored the Green New Deal with AOC. He votes with AOC 96 percent of the time, but he is not from New York or Seattle or San Francisco. He is from rural Oregon. He just doesn't represent the district anymore. I think there may have been a time where he did," said Skarlatos, adding that he is running a middle-of-the-road campaign on issues that he believes most voters will support.

Carlisle Events officials were considering their options Wednesday morning after the state Department of Health, citing COVID-19 concerns, sued the company to try to stop it from holding its Spring Carlisle car show that is expected to draw 100,000 visitors.

Mike Garland, company spokesman, said the firm was declining comment on the suit filed in Commonwealth Court while awaiting advice from its lawyer.

Meanwhile, the show, a huge automotive flea market that draws visitors and vendors nationwide, was still scheduled to run Wednesday through Saturday at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. It had already been delayed by two months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Staging the show could be disastrous, the Health Department claims.

“When individuals choose to ignore those safeguards—such as by holding an event anticipating 100,000 attendees—they put the lives of Pennsylvanians at risk and threaten to reverse the significant progress that has been made to resolve this crisis,” its petition to Commonwealth Court states. “That dangerous conduct must be stopped before it can occur.”

That cease and desist petition was filed Wednesday, a day after the Health Department sent Carlisle Events an email warning the firm it would be violating the 250-person attendance limit set under the emergency orders Gov. Tom Wolf and Health Secretary Rachel Levine has issued in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19, which has been blamed for more than 6,200 deaths in Pennsylvania.
