A New Chapter, a Noble Endeavor
Our campaign for Governor of Texas is not about running against anyone. Instead, it is centered on establishing an impeccable standard of leadership that is laser-focused on serving you, and being for Texas. That is why our campaign tagline is “Defending the Texas Republic.”

What exactly does that mean?
Well, it is simple, and perhaps the delusional minds of progressive socialists cannot comprehend it. A republic is grounded in the principles of its rule of law, our Texas Constitution, and individual rights, such as freedom and liberty. That is what I will defend for you, the legal, law-abiding citizens of Texas. When I see this scourge of illegal immigration that is affecting the life, liberty, and security of Texans, this cannot be tolerated.
If you go to the issues section, you will see my solutions to the problems we are facing at our border. There are other issues I want to discuss with you, and, there will be more added to the site. Too often politicians try to make us believe something is “too complex” when in actuality, the solution is simple, just follow the rule of law.
I want y’all to understand a basic truth: this is not my campaign. This endeavor belongs to Texans. It belongs to the Texans who have asked me to consider embarking upon this journey, one we do together. This endeavor belongs to our children and grandchildren. You have my commitment to protect and preserve their future. This campaign is about putting Texans first . . . not illegal immigrants, not the insidious ideological agenda of the left.
This campaign is about you. That is the only reason I would re-enter the cesspool of politics, to honor my oath to support and defend the Constitution of these United States. And, to ensure that Texas remains the beacon of liberty and freedom that all of America, and indeed the world, sees it as.
As I once again traverse the state and break bread with y’all at Cracker Barrel, IHOP, Denny’s, and my favorite, Waffle House. — the real reason I work out so hard — I want to hear your concerns, thoughts, insights, and hopes. Being a “dreamer” is not just a talking point relegated to those brought here illegally. We are all dreamers, and I want to safeguard the dreams of liberty-minded, constitutional conservatives. Yes, let me make it clear, I will fight doggedly against progressive socialism, Marxism, Critical Race Theory, cancel culture, statism, and corporate/government cronyism.
My objective is to economically empower Texans, making them victors, not victims. So, if you prefer leftism, having males play on female sports teams, chemical and physical castration of our children, and murdering our unborn, don’t waste your breath attacking me, that will only embolden me in my stance.
There are those who say this is an uphill battle. Well, to them I say, David took on Goliath with a few small stones, but with immense faith. Thirteen small colonies took on the greatest power the world knew at that time. Texas won its independence by fighting one of the mightiest armies of the day. And, never forget, US Army paratroopers are always given the tough missions. We like it that way.
So, join with us and claim this noble endeavor as your very own. I humbly ask for your support, encouragement, prayers, and blessing. The focus for these first three months is on fundraising and conveying our message, “Defending the Texas Republic.” We look forward to having our grand opening of your West4Texas campaign headquarters here in North Texas in early September. We want y’all to decorate the headquarters, so we will be asking for items, from all over Texas, to remind us of the rugged and resilient individualism of Texas.
For God, Country, and Texas!
Col. Allen B. West (Ret.)

LTC West’s Contract to Defend the Texas Republic
The American republic is in grave danger. We have wandered far from the guiding principles that established our nation and preserved our way of life for more than two centuries. Because Texas was once a republic, its citizens have a unique perspective on the preciousness of independence and the sacrifices that secured our freedoms. We cherish this exceptional system of government and recognize the imminent threats that can destroy what our Founders called “the great experiment” known as the United States of America.
For America to endure, every generation must safeguard our constitutional republic and representative democracy from misguided public policies and the destructive attitudes and actions of its enemies, foreign and domestic. To that end, we, as patriotic Texans and Americans, hereby reaffirm the timeless truths for which millions of freedom-loving men and women have devoted their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to defend as the immutable core values that have made our country the city set upon a hill to the whole world.

We, the people of Texas, believe that:
- The Constitution of the United States must be preserved, protected, and defended at all costs
- All people are created equal and should be free to flourish without prejudice
- All people must be allowed to practice their religion freely without governmental interference
- The failed political systems of socialism, Marxism, and/or communism are antithetical to the principles set out in the American Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution
- The military must be strong enough to protect us from foreign aggression
- Law enforcement must be strong enough to protect people and personal property from destructive acts of lawlessness
- All citizens have the right to self-defense
- All citizens should be free to obtain quality healthcare
- All human life must be protected from the womb to the grave
- The family must be esteemed as the irreplaceable cornerstone of society
- All children deserve the best education available
- All people have a responsibility to be practical stewards of our planet
- Immigrants must enter the U.S. legally, respect the rule of law and seek to contribute to society
- All levels of government must advance policies that help businesses create jobs and economic security for all
- All lawmakers must write laws that are clear, necessary, and affordable
- All courts must interpret the laws justly and impartially
Recognizing these fundamental rights and responsibilities, we invite all Americans to join us in renewing their commitment to these timeless truths and encouraging elected officials to embrace and defend these core values so that future generations will enjoy the freedom, peace, and prosperity our Founding Fathers envisioned long ago and for which millions have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
I, Lt. Col (Ret.) Allen B. West, do proudly affix my name to this document as my Contract to Defend the Texas Republic on this, the 4th of July, 2021.
Steadfast and Loyal,
My thanks Michael Wm. Schick for the work that he has done to craft this contract.

The Issues
It is within us, as human beings, to create and establish a legacy that will transcend our own lives. I believe our Founding Fathers reflected upon this creation, these United States of America. I believe that these seemingly ordinary men, and women, breathed life into something that was unheard of: a nation founded upon individual liberty, rights, and sovereignty. They sought to establish a legacy that would transcend time, and their own lives, believing that each generation would pass on this ideal to the next and they would reflect back upon their wisdom, courage, discernment, and intellectual prowess. I seek to protect these gifts for my family and yours.
