Brady Mayor Endorses Pfluger for Congress

BRADY, TX — Tony Groves, mayor of Brady, announced his support Wednesday for Lt. Col. August Pfluger (R-San Angelo) in the Republican Primary for Texas’ 11th Congressional District according to a press release.

“August Pfluger is a fellow veteran who has dedicated his life to defending our country,” said Groves. “I believe that the people of this community can count on August to defend our values in Washington as well. I’m honored to endorse August Pfluger for Congress and know that he’s the man we need to secure our border, stand with President Trump, and protect our way of life.”

Like Pfluger, Groves is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. Over his 30-year military career, Colonel Groves served in the Vietnam Conflict and the First Gulf War. After retiring from active duty, Groves spent 12 years teaching leadership classes at Texas A&M University.

“I’m very honored to have Mayor Tony Groves’ support in this campaign,” said Pfluger. “I look forward to working with Mayor Groves to lead our community forward and preserve what makes our corner of Texas so special,” said Pfluger.

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.
