About Pete

Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) • Special Forces Green Beret • Physician • Servant-Leader

Dr. Pete Chambers—better known across Texas and the nation as “Doc”—is not a career politician. He’s a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, Special Forces Green Beret, and combat-decorated physician who has spent his life answering the call to serve.

Doc began his military career in 1983 and later returned to civilian life to pursue medicine. After completing his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree, he worked as an emergency room physician, sheriff’s deputy, and SWAT team medic. But after the attacks of 9/11, he returned to active duty—this time in Special Operations.

In a milestone achievement, Doc became the first physician to complete the entire U.S. Army Special Forces Qualification Course—earning the Green Beret at age 47. As a Special Operations Flight Surgeon, he deployed on numerous combat tours, providing medical care in some of the world’s most demanding conditions. His service earned him high honors, including the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Combat Medical Badge.

After retiring in 2022, Doc became a national advocate for medical freedom, transparency, and constitutional rights. As a whistleblower during the COVID-19 era, he was one of the first military officers to speak out against unlawful mandates and stand up for servicemembers’ rights—actions that led to testimony before the U.S. Senate and the SEALs v. DoD lawsuit.

Today, Doc continues to serve through The Remnant Ministry, a grassroots organization he leads that supports families, communities, and law enforcement. From humanitarian missions at the Texas border to mentoring young leaders, Doc shows up where help is needed most—with boots on the ground and heart in the fight.

Now he’s stepping forward to serve the people of Texas as their next Governor. Not for politics. For the people.
