In March 2021, Rodimer announced his candidacy for Texas's 6th congressional district special election. He was noted for dramatically changing his accent and persona in his campaign ad compared to his run in Nevada the previous year.

Rodimer has been accused three times of assault but has no convictions.[26] After an arrest on charges of battery in 2010, Rodimer entered a deferred prosecution agreement. In that agreement he admitted to committing the offense, and upon completion of a six-week anger management training course the charge was dropped. He was also accused of assault in 2011 and 2013, according to records from the Collier County Sheriff's Office; however, in both cases no charges were filed
I mentioned the Texas thing in my writeup about him.

I felt that CNN was being overly dramatic there. I tried very hard to hear the fake accent, and it just didn't exist. They were right that he took on a lol cowboy persona in his Texas ads, whereas he portrayed himself as a normal family man in Nevada. However, his vocal difference seemed to be related to some issue with his voice that made it more gravelly-sounding, maybe from a cold or whatever, but I didn't hear any southern twang. He even tried to clarify this in the interview but they just skipped right past it.

Would've been hilarious if he really did fake a Texas accent, and it would have been great to play on PFA Radio (as this will definitely be a discussion topic), but no, he didn't fake an accent.
