Arrested pol is McCain campaign Florida co-chairman
by PageOneQ
A member of the Florida House of Representatives arrested yesterday
on charges of soliciting a male undercover police officer is the
co-Chairman of the Florida campaign of presidential hopeful John
McCain, PageOneQ has learned.
Bob Allen (R) was appointed Florida co-Chairman of the McCain
campaign in March. At the time, McCain said he was proud of the
support he received from Allen and that Allen and his three co-chairs
were "respected leaders in their communities and have real experience
wrestling with the important issues of our day." McCain pledged to
"turn to these leaders. Their counsel will be very helpful and their
support invaluable."
Fox News Orlando reported the arrest yesterday evening. According to
the report, Allen was charged with a second degree misdemeanor.
Allen, who is married, was arrested in Titusville, Florida,
approximately twenty-five miles east of the district he represents.
Allen has a strong conservative record. PageOneQ has obtained
information regarding Allen's voting record and ratings by advocacy
organizations. Between 2003 and 2006 Allen voted with the Christian
Coalition over 90% of the time. Allen has been endorsed by the
Florida Right to Life Committee and this year he voted to impose a
24-hour waiting period on third-trimester abortions.
Allen serves on the House Agriculture & Environment Appropriations
Committee, Environmental Regulation Committee, State Infrastructure
Council and the Utilities & Telecommunications Committee. He is
chairman of the Spaceport & Technology Committee.
On his House web page, Allen's listed recreational interest is "water
sports."
A message left seeking comment from McCain's campaign went unreturned
by press time. Updates as they become available...
