In late October 2022,a little over a week before election day,Clyde Shavers' father,Brett Shavers,released a statement about ongoing allegations of dishonesty involving his son's military career and other claims made by the Shavers campaign. [5] In the statement,Brett Shavers admonished his son for lying about being a nuclear submarine captain during his naval career. Clyde Shavers was an officer in the U.S. Navy and attended the Navy Nuclear Power School in the early 2010s;however,records show that at no point was he ever promoted to a Nuclear Submarine Captain despite later claims of being so.
