Decorated War Hero Allen West to Speak at Republican Meeting
Just days after arriving from Afghanistan, Lt. Col. Allen West (U.S. Army, Ret.) will officially launch his bid for Congress at a meeting of the Greater Pompano Beach Republican Club on Thursday, November 8, 7:30 p.m., Emma Lou Olson Civic Center, 1801 N.E. 6 St., Pompano Beach.
The event is being sponsored by area Republican clubs and the Coral Springs Republican Business Forum to introduce West, who is challenging Rep. Ron Klein (D-Boca Raton) for the 22nd Congressional seat, which spans the Atlantic coast of Broward and Palm Beach Counties, from Juno Beach to Fort Lauderdale.
West, a former teacher at Deerfield Beach High School, said he is running to “change the culture of defeat and retreat in Washington.” He has vowed to work for national security and secure America’s borders by enforcing immigration laws. “I will fight to lower taxes and reduce the size of the federal government. I will be an advocate for bringing new, high paying jobs to South Florida and will protect small business by cutting senseless regulations that cost jobs and increase overhead,” he said.
West said he will champion the reduction of America’s dependence on foreign sources of oil by promoting energy independence while “preserving our coastlines and farmlands.”
An Atlanta native, who moved his family to Broward County in 2004, West holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee and a master’s degree from Kansas State University. His wife, Angela, holds MBA and Ph.D. degrees. They have two daughters—Aubrey, 13, who was accepted into the Cambridge academic program at Fort Lauderdale High School, and Austen, 10, a budding pianist. “Education is the great equalizer,” West said. “With a good education, any child in America can live the dream.”
West faces a challenging race against Klein, a former lobbyist who defeated incumbent Rep. Clay Shaw (R-Fort Lauderdale) in 2006. Klein has already raised more than $1 million for his reelection bid.
The meeting is open to the public and refreshments will be served. For additional information, contact Carol Waldrop, 954-786-7536
PLEASE NOTE THAT COL. WEST WILL ALSO BE ON SOUTH FLORIDA RADIO ON MON. NOV. 5 AT 2:00 ON WFTL 850 AM.
