‘ShamWow’ guy running for Texas House seat

BY CAROLINE VAKIL - 11/24/25 1:47 PM ET

Offer Vince Shlomi, commonly known as the “ShamWow guy” after his series of towel infomercials, is running for a House seat in Texas with a pitch to “soak up the swamp,” according to primary filing information from the Texas GOP.

Shlomi — a former fixture on American infomercials where he hawked “ShamWow” towels, which he touted for their absorbency and ability to be used on different surfaces — is running for Texas’s 31st Congressional District, currently represented by GOP Rep. John Carter.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) does not yet have a candidate filing listed for him.

Shlomi, whose name is listed in the Texas GOP’s filing database as Offer Vince “ShamWow” Shlomi, told Fox News Digital in an interview published on Sunday that he was compelled to make a congressional bid “to destroy wokeism” and in honor of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The “ShamWow” salesman joins a group of Republicans looking to primary Carter, who handily beat his primary challenger last year by more than 50 points in a House seat that currently resides in the northern suburbs of Austin.

Why do they want to primary Carter? I had AI pull up his voting history and he's conservative (i.e. shocking for having Austin in part of district) - pro military, pro law enforcement, less taxes, etc. Seems to only break ranks when it's spending an trillions of dollars full of earmarks. Am I missing something?

For those who wonder why he needs replacement? He is 84. Not that there’s anything wrong with that-but shouldn’t he be retired and playing with his grandkids?

I’m not sure slap chop is the guy to replace Carter, but ffs 84…
