Missouri secretary of state candidate Republican Valentina Gomez is making waves on social media with a new campaign video.
Gomez, a self-described real estate investor, financier, strategist, and former NCAA Division I swimmer, is running for Missouri secretary of state in this year’s election. On Tuesday, she posted a new video telling voters “not to be weak or gay” while running with a weighted vest on.
“In America, you can be anything you want, so don’t be weak and gay. Stay f***ing hard,” Gomez said in the video. The video ends with a picture of herself holding a rifle.
“Don’t be weak and gay. August 6th is the day we take Missouri back from these corrupt politicians,” she posted on X, adding, “MAGA.”
According to the New York Post, Gomez was running through the Soulard District, which is a predominantly LGBT neighborhood in St. Louis. She previously shared a video of herself throwing a flamethrower on library books on the LBGT community.
Gomez, who is 24 years old, frequently posts videos of herself exercising and using guns while talking about her campaign.

Her campaign website is focused on the secretary of state’s budget, removing electronic voter machines to move back to hand counting, “championing capitalism,” and restoring “public confidence towards election integrity by decentralizing voting accessibility to the elderly and rural areas.”
The current Missouri secretary of state, Republican Jay Ashcroft, is running for governor, paving the way for a crowded primary to succeed him. At least seven other Republicans have joined the primary race so far, and Missouri’s primary is on Aug. 6.
