On July 21st, 2023, Jason Nelson and his wife were enjoying a rare date night at the Hotel Indigo, an upscale boutique hotel in Waco, TX. They were jolted from their slumber at 3 a.m. to indiscriminate, horrific screams. Jason opened his hotel room door to see three women being attacked by a 6’5” 370 lbs man.
Despite Jason’s best efforts to deescalate the situation, the assailant slammed him into the hallway wall and grabbed Jason’s firearm. Jason managed to fire off a single shot, which struck the assailant.
Jason, a disabled vet, proceeded to wrestle with the 370 lbs man alone, while his wife was left to wonder who had been shot. After about a minute the assailant collapsed to the ground from the bullet wound. Finally, while Jason rendered first aid in an effort to save the man’s life, one man finally entered the hallway to assist Jason.
It turned out that Jason had disrupted a sex trafficking operation and he had defended himself with lethal force. A grand jury has since determined that his actions were self-defense and Jason is now able to speak about the experience.
The incident has had a profound impact on Jason and his family. Jason and his wife are taking steps to maintain their physical and mental health—seeing a trauma counselor and Jason having had surgery. Jason’s faith in God has been instrumental in recovering as Jason believes that God puts us in places to make a difference in the world, and this was one of those times.
For Jason, the tragic incident has highlighted many national sicknesses—drug abuse, human trafficking, sexual slavery—-that inspired his initial run for Congress after his Army retirement last year.
Jason is a man who will always put himself in harms way to protect innocent women and children. And while he believes it is time to share this story (especially in our present political climate where they want to remove the rights of women to own the one guaranteed equalizer they could ever have), he also believes it’s the right time to remove himself from the 2024 race for the 17th Congressional District of Texas.
Jason plans to take this time to heal as a family and focus on ending the scourge of sex-trafficking as it exists, even in his own small town. He remains committed to serving the wonderful families right in the Heart of Texas.
