The Austin County Republican Party hosted “Breakfast With Lt. Col. Allen West” yesterday morning at Tony’s Family Restaurant in Sealy, TX.
Allen West is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives. West represented Florida’s 22nd congressional district in the House from 2011 to 2013. He has been a contributor on Fox News where he offered political commentary during the network’s daytime and prime time shows.
In September 2015, West was nominated to the Sunset Advisory Commission, which oversees the need for Texas state agencies, as the Texas Senate‘s appointed public member.
He currently resides in Dallas, TX and runs a political news and commentary blog AllenWest.com along with his podcast on the same website.
West spoke to the early crowd for close to an hour where he gave his thoughts on the current political climate and gave suggestions for how current GOP members could reach out to others to help the party become more inclusive as well as other topics like the U.S. Military, economy and more.
