The
Alabama Press Register reports that businessman David Walter plans to challenge incumbent Republican Representative Jo Bonner the November to represent Alabama's 1st Congressional District:
Running under the banner of the Constitution Party, Orange Beach businessman David Walter is seeking the congressional seat held by incumbent Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Mobile, according to a news release.
From
Walter's press release:
Gulf Coast businessman David Walter, well known in the area for his marine related businesses announced today his candidacy for the Alabama 1st District of the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Walter said, “If you’re like me, you’re not only concerned with the direction our nation is headed in, but sick and tired of Congress spending money like crazy without a single acknowledgement of the consequences. I am not a politician, I’m a businessman. I’ve owned and operated the same business for 41 years.”
Mr. Walter believes the federal government should be run like a business and that Congress should focus less on issues relating to the special interests that contribute to them and more on the voters who put them in office.
As a congressman, Mr. Walter’s goals include introducing legislation to balance the budget, reduce taxes by reducing the size of the government, simplify the tax system, enforce immigration laws that will end the current burden on our economy and health care systems, and work to limit the power of the federal government over states and citizens as intended by the Constitution.
