West also previously served as state party chairman for the Texas Republican Party. He left that post early to run for governor, despite promises he would not.

Dallas County has two remaining GOP seats in the state House of Representatives.

Those seats are in House Districts 108 and 112. They are held by state Reps. Morgan Meyer (R-Dallas) and Angie Chen Button (R-Garland).

Meyer is being challenged from within the GOP. Former city council candidate Barry Wernick filed for 108 in November.

Allen West has criticized both Republican elected representatives despite them maintaining their seats in blue Dallas.

Allen West Is Back, But Why?

West hosted a campaign kickoff at Richland College yesterday.

Lieutenant Colonel West self describes as a constitutional conservative and combat veteran.

His time as Chairman of the Texas Republican Party was sewn with division and now debt. He was in often public spats with his Vice Chair Cat Parks.

Governor Greg Abbott Spreads COVID19 In McKinney

Abbott Spreads COVID19

Texas Governor Greg Abbott spreads COVID19 in McKinney, Texas at a fundraiser at Heritage Ranch on earlier this week.

Abbott attended a fundraiser for the Republican Club at Heritage Ranch and the video above clearly shows him in close contact with dozens of other unmasked attendees at the venue.

A statement from the governor’s office said that everyone Abbott was close with has been notified of possible exposure to COVID19. He is currently being treated with monoclonal antibodies at the Governor’s Mansion.

The Governor’s spokesman would not comment about Abbott’s personal responsibility. The Texas Governor has said personal responsibility should be the standard on whether or not to wear a mask.

Abbott Spreads COVID19 In Schools Too?

Abbott is fighting against mask and vaccine mandates in Texas and issued an executive order prohibiting businesses and schools from requiring masks or vaccines to enter.

Abbott has retreated recently on COVID19 response requesting FEMA mortuary trailers and out of state medical responders, but denied Dallas area hospitals for the same request last week.

Texas is currently averaging 14,453 new cases per day, according to a seven-day rolling average.

Dallas ISD has stated they will require masks on campus and continued despite court action appearing to uphold the Governor’s executive action.

On Monday, Iraan-Sheffield ISD, a district about an hour south of Midland, Texas announced it would shut down its three campuses until August 30th. Bloomburg ISD and Waskom ISD also are shutting down campuses in light of COVID19 numbers in rural Texas.
