Senator Perry Endorses Pfluger for Congress

SAN ANGELO, TX — Today, State Senator Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) announced his public endorsement of August Pfluger (R-San Angelo) in the Republican Primary for Texas’ 11^th Congressional District. In the Texas Senate, Perry represents a 53-county district in West Texas that includes Coke, Coleman, Concho, Crane, Dawson, Eastland, Irion, Kimble, Mason, McCulloch, Menard, Mitchell, Runnels, Sterling, and Tom Green counties in TX-11.

“I’m proud to endorse August Pfluger for Congress and believe he will be a continuation of the strong voice for agriculture, energy independence and the commonsense, faith-based values we live by in West Texas,” said Perry.

Sen. Perry’s support adds to a growing list of endorsements announced by the Pfluger campaign last week, including State Rep. Drew Darby (R-San Angelo), State Rep. Andy Murr (R-Kerrville), Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds (R-Granbury), and the Texas Farm Bureau AGFUND.

“Senator Perry is a proven, conservative leader in the Texas Legislature who has served this community with honor and fearlessly defended our values in Austin,” said Pfluger. “I’m honored to have Charles’ support in this campaign and I look forward to working together to secure the border, stand with President Trump, and defend our constitutional rights and freedoms.”

Lt. Colonel August Pfluger is a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force and a decorated fighter pilot with over 300 hours of direct combat against radical jihadists in the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Until launching his campaign in September, August served as a member of President Donald J. Trump’s National Security Council staff, where he was entrusted with our nation’s highest security clearance and charged with advising President Trump on a host of foreign and domestic threats to our nation’s security.

A seventh-generation Texan, August describes himself as a conservative Republican, a proud husband and father, and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. He and his wife, Camille, have three young daughters, Vivian, Caroline, and Juliana. In his free time, August enjoys coaching his daughters’ youth soccer teams and leading Bible study groups for military service members – something he’s done at every base he’s been stationed.
