Retired US Army Colonel Alan Swain Announces Campaign for Congress in NC's 4th District

​Friends, I need your help once again.

You’ve seen in less than a year what the radical left can do to take our country down a terrible path. Since taking office earlier this year, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have teamed up with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in a coordinated effort to ruin our great country.

Rampant inflation and the administration’s bumbling efforts to get us out of the pandemic are driving the price of everyday items higher and higher, breaking the backs of everyday Americans who deserve better.
 
Progressive activists have infiltrated our schools, hiding behind their massive union, and are poisoning the minds of our children. Critical race theory is their mechanism to turn our own kids against us, and against our nation.
 
Hypocrites always, the climate doomsayers board their private jets to fly to meetings where they plot to turn back progress here, while letting their friends in China get even further ahead.
 
They’ve even abandoned our citizens and those who helped us on an airfield in Afghanistan as the world watched, horrified at how we would treat our people and our friends.
 
Well friends, I’ve had enough – and I’m asking you to join me.
 
Today I announced my intent to become a candidate for the newly-created 4th Congressional District in North Carolina.
 
Last year I answered the call and took on liberal Deborah Ross for Congress in the old 2nd Congressional District. It was heavily Democratic and we came up short, but I was humbled by the support I got and the response from voters all across the District.

When the General Assembly drew the new districts and I saw who the Representative for the new 4th District would represent, I knew I had to once again do my duty and step up for our great nation.
 
You see, my background is one of service – 26 years in the US Army, to include 2 tours at The Pentagon, a tour at The White House, Fort Bragg XVIII Airborne Corps tour and commanding an AH-64 Apache Battalion in Germany and later self-deploying that unit as Aviation Task Force Commander in Bosnia. After retiring, I helped start a small business which we grew annual revenues to $35 million over a 12 year period.
 
Then, when asked by GOP leaders to step up and run in the overwhelmingly Democrat old 2nd district I did, and that brought me into the world of politics. After that campaign I knew I had found a new calling and needed to stay in this arena, so when I was asked to run for Chairman of the Wake County Republican Party I said yes, and won a hotly contested election with more than 77% of the vote. Not long after I was again asked to take on a leadership role in the NCGOP, and was nominated for Chairman of the old NCGOP 2nd Congressional District. That election also resulted in victory, including a vote by unanimous acclamation at the District Convention.
 
Now I’ve been asked again, and again I cannot say NO.
 
I am stepping down from my party leadership positions and declaring my intention to run, and to win, in the Republican Party primary for CD 4. I understand this will be a hotly contested primary, which is why I am investing $250,000 of my own money into this race upon filing. Additionally, I have already secured commitments and donor pledges of nearly $200-250,000 for my primary race. We must elect a strong conservative to represent the people of CD4, and I intend to do everything it takes to win this primary.
 
If you believe in America and America First policies, then I ask you to stand with me. If you believe in a strong military that is supported by, not abandoned by our leaders, then I ask you to stand with me. If you believe in family values, in the free market, and in the American dream, then I ask you to stand with me.
 
Together we will send a true conservative Congressman to represent the great people of Johnston, Harnett, Sampson, Wayne and Cumberland counties. Look for me as I travel the district talking with voters about who I am and why I am running.

Thank you, and God Bless America.
 Sincerely,
 Col. Alan D. Swain (US Army, ret)

“I cannot sit back and let the Democrats continue to drag our great country down. Their failed progressive policies have driven inflation higher and higher, and their extreme liberal ideology is now being forced on our school children. I won’t stand for it, and I will go to Washington to make sure the unique concerns of this district are heard.”  -Colonel Alan Swain
