Allen West has decided to switch to the newly proposed 18th district in Florida for reelection. Here is his statement below:
“After much prayer, reflection and discussion with my close friends and family, I am announcing today my decision to seek reelection in Florida’s proposed 18th Congressional district. I have always believed the state of Florida would be best served by having both Congressman Tom Rooney and myself in the House of Representatives working to solve our nation’s most pressing problems. I have never waivered from my vision; to work to create jobs, restrain federal government spending, reduce America’s ever increasing national debt, and provide for a strong national defense to ensure a safer and more prosperous future for our children and grandchildren. Congressman Rooney is a statesman and has been an honorable public servant to the constituents of Florida’s 16th Congressional district. It is my goal to continue the success Congressman Rooney has had in Florida’s 16th Congressional district in the newly proposed 18th district. I welcome the challenges and excitement that lie ahead. As a 22-year United States Army veteran who commanded troops in combat, one should never underestimate my ability to be a strategic thinker. My voice for the restoration of constitutional principles for our Republic shall continue to resonate through Florida and on Capitol Hill.”
Kudos to Allen West. We can’t lose this guy.

Sorry but I have no idea where the proposed 18th Congressional District is, if he lives in it or has to, nor what kind of people comprise the district.
LtC Allen West, we’ll be watching to see if you need campaign money. We can’t afford to lose your voice in the House.
vote west out.. you run where you live.. simple.
West has fallen far down my totum pole when he joined with the establishment to give 0bama another $2 trillion to blow.
West is fraud. I was hoping to see him go.
You run where you are legally able to run. If the people don’t mind then they vote you in. Simple.
Smart move. Smart man. I hope this works for him in a big way.
