I like West a lot, but I don’t think a one-term congressman who most Republicans don’t even know is going to be a high enough profile for the job. He could be head of the VA or something like that. I’d like to see him run for Florida Senate or go back to the House and build a following. I don’t know why he didn’t.
West got redistricted right out of his seat. I think the Republican Party of Florida helped that happen.
