"Greetings everyone, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret), and former Member of Congress, Allen West, here to lend my full and unequivocal support and endorsement of my friend of over 15 years, Donna Brosemer for Volusia County School Board District 4. I met Donna  back in 2006 in South Florida after my retirement from the US Army. It was Donna who inspired, encouraged, and advised me to run for US Congress in the 2008 cycle. There is no one you will find more knowledgeable of the machinations of Florida education policy than Donna Brosemer. As well, you will be hard pressed to find a more dedicated and committed constitutional conservative than my friend, Donna. I have always stated that the most important elected position in America is the School Board...we now know why. Donna Brosemer is an American Patriot, a person of high moral character, impeccable integrity, astute competence, a strong communicator, and a willing servant. I offer her my endorsement with no reservations, and your children will thrive in an educational atmosphere where she is a policy maker."
