Former Republican congressman Allen West has signed on with Fox News as their newest contributor.
In a statement to The Washington Post, Fox News Vice President Bill Shine said: “Representative West’s congressional and military experience along with his fearless approach to voicing key issues will provide a valuable point of view to the FOX News lineup.”
The army veteran first ran for Congress in 2010, beating his Democratic opponent Ron Klein for Florida’s 22nd congressional district.
West announced in January that he did not plan to run for office in 2014.
