Allen West launches bid for Texas GOP chair
https://www.rawstory.com/2019/08/allen-west-launches-bid-for-texas-gop-chair/
West will take on James Dickey, who has served as state Republican chair since 2017. Republican delegates will elect their next state party chair at the Texas GOP convention in May.
Allen West, a former congressman from Florida, announced Thursday he is running for Texas GOP chair, challenging current party leader James Dickey for the position.
“I’m jumping back into this fray,” West said in a Facebook live Thursday. “We need to have strong, principled voices — constitutional conservatives.”
Delegates are scheduled to elect the next state party chair at the Texas GOP convention in May 2020.
In July, West told supporters he was exploring a run for the position. Afterward, Dickey, who has served as chair since 2017, said he was running for reelection — and stressed the importance of party unity ahead of a competitive election cycle.
In his Thursday announcement, West ticked through a number of priorities he plans to champion during his bid. He noted he wants to “strengthen our families,” to “stand up for life” and to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, among other things.
Thank you for the information.
Is James Dickey a Rino?
I really like West and would love to see him back in the House.
