🎙️ Episode 67: The Mission Isn’t Over – Colonel George Markert’s Next Battle: The U.S. Senate
In Episode 67 of Tuxes & Tomahawks, host Adam DeRito sits down with a true warrior, patriot, and visionary leader: Colonel George Markert, USMC (Ret.). With over 30 years of global service, Colonel Markert's career reads like a living history of America’s modern military operations—from East Timor to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. But now, this decorated Marine is answering a new call: to serve the people of Colorado in the United States Senate.
Born in Virginia Beach and forged through three decades of leadership under fire, Colonel Markert's record is unmatched. He led logistics and combat operations across five continents, supported operations following 9/11, commanded battalions in the fight against terrorism, and served as a strategic advisor inside U.S. Central Command. His personal decorations—among them the Bronze Star, Defense Superior Service Medal, and Legion of Merit—reflect not just courage under fire, but principled, results-driven leadership at the highest levels of national defense.
But Colonel Markert’s dedication didn’t stop at retirement. He recently served as Director of Operations for GeoStabilization International, applying military precision to safeguard America’s critical infrastructure. With four master’s degrees—from Penn State to the Naval War College—this is a man who understands strategy, economics, and security from both the battlefield and the boardroom.
Now, Colonel Markert is stepping into the arena once again—this time to fight for Coloradans fed up with career politicians, weak borders, crumbling infrastructure, and a federal government that has lost touch with real American values. With a proven record of service, sacrifice, and strategic leadership, George Markert is the statesman Colorado needs to restore honor, accountability, and strength in Washington.
Why He’s the Right Senator for Colorado:
He has defended America abroad—he’ll defend Colorado at home.
He brings unmatched executive and crisis leadership from the Pentagon to the Pacific.
He understands both national security and economic security—and he knows how to lead in both.
He’s not a politician. He’s a Marine. He’s a builder. He’s a fighter. And he’s just getting started.
🎧 Tune in now to hear why Colonel George Markert is ready to be Colorado’s next great senator—and how his mission to serve has only just begun.
