Former New Mexico Republican Party chair (and former candidate for governor) Allen Weh announced today that he has founded a political advocacy group called For Country. It is a nonprofit, tax-exempt group organized under section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code, similar to a political action committee, but with fewer restrictions on how the money can be spent and fewer requirements on disclosure.
Weh, who gave more than 1 million to his gubernatorial campaign earlier this year, has been admired as a strong fundraiser. For Country will “lend support” to candidates who share his views, he said in a press release. Weh reiterated his support for limited government, free enterprise and a strong national defense.
“In the 21st century, our country faces more challenges as a nation than it has since its inception. International Islamic terrorists seek to destroy our country. There is a virtual combat zone in Mexico that is beginning to spill over into the United States. And our economy remains frail and vulnerable because of policies that have weakened our free enterprise system,” Weh said in the release.
Weh’s newly launched website is www.AllenWeh.com.
