District 11 candidate visits Stephens County

Stephens County hosted a meet and greet for Congressional District 11 candidate August Pfluger on Feb. 18 at The Popular.

Pfluger is one of ten Republican candidates running for the vacated District 11 seat. The former District 11 representative Mike Conaway decided last summer that he intended to retire from Congress, opening the door for a fresh candidate.

Pfluger has spent 20 years fighting for American values, first as a combat pilot in the United States Air Force and then on the National security council for President Donald J. Trump. Pfluger has written policies for such things as agriculture and oil and gas for the President.

“My military service and my service at the highest levels of our government is what sets me apart from other candidates,” Pfluger said. “I understand how to write policy and I believe I can have an immediate impact in January.”

Congressional District 11 consists of 29 counties including Midland, Odessa and Stephens County and Pfluger believes he is the best candidate to push conservative values.

“When Representative Conaway announced his retirement, my wife and I prayed about it and we had that desire to serve and this was another way, in addition to the military, that we could serve this district,” Pfluger said.

Pfluger has been endorsed by President Donald J. Trump, U.S. Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Patrick Payton, the mayor of Midland.

Early voting started Feb. 18 and goes through Feb. 28. The primary election day will be Tuesday, March 3.
