A rising conservative star in the Republican Party, Lt. Colonel (Ret) Allen West will be in Alaska on July 8-9 to deliver two presentations during fundraisers for the Alaska Republican Party in Anchorage and Fairbanks.
West describes himself as a “Christian constitutional conservative.” He is a combat veteran, and former member of the U.S. Congress.
He currently serves as chairman of the Texas Republican Party but announced that he will step down from that post amid rumors that he is mulling challenging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
According to his bio on the Texas GOP website, Allen believes it will be “conservative, free market policies, not politics that secures a sound economic future for Americans – with growth, opportunity and returning the promise of the American dream for this generation and those to come.”

I bet this man will actually do something about the Texas borderand not just used it as a talking point and campaign promise as Abbott’s been using it to get himself reelected.
Wish he could stay and replace our disgrace of an “acting” mayor =]
God bless the Republic!!
Nope. We’re keeping him in texas.
I pray he being a Military Man spells out. the UCMJ meaning of treason. and how when an Oathtaking Politician willingly turns their back on the Foreign interference in our Vote that said politician when a Nation is under Martial Law is eligible for Execution. Most do not even know the executive orders placed by President Trump prior to Nov 3rd, You to your horror will soon find out. It. may all seem Rosy for you all in Juneau thinking you can just go on with the manipulations of we the people by your Law breaking callous attitudes, But we who see the oncoming tide will watch your hearts fail when you are called to face your abandoning of your Oath and Constitution…. We have warned and warned yet your bulletproof attitudes and deaf ears to your Constituents has been your Demise.
