The Lehigh Acres Democratic Party hosted a “Meet and Greet” with possible 17th Congressional district Candidate Will Bronson on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, at 7pm at Veteran’s Park Recreation Center . Bronson, a retired Delta Airlines captain and USNR veteran with a BA, MA, MTS and Doctorate in Ministry was introduced to the crowd by Joan Patterson, chair of the Lehigh Acres Democratic Party.
During Bronson’s speech, he touched upon topics of the economy, the current American need for infrastructure, and Big Money’s corruption of Washington.
“It’s very important to get out and vote this year. The reason I’m running is money has too big an influence in Washington,” Bronson said.
When asked about taxes, he replied, “The money from American taxes should benefit the American people.”
When asked about reforming business models, Bronson answered, “We need new business models, ones that are not speculative”.
Asked about foreign policy Bronson said, “(As it is) Our foreign policy has been privatized, going around putting our nose in everybody’s business is not the way.”
After the speech, people attending spoke with one another until the meet and greet ended at 9pm.
Bronson said hopes to raise $10,440 dollars to put his name on the ballot for the newly formed 17th Congressional District. Bronson has been a resident of Lehigh Acres for the past 10 years. The newly formed 17th Congressional District includes parts of Hendry county, half of Lehigh Acres, some of Alva and most of Charlotte County.

Mr. Bronson is not a candidate, as you wrote, until he files. He has not because he has not been able to raise enough money or signatures. He has only announced his intent to file. Get your facts straight.
Thanks, Mr. Summers for pointing out the semantical error of our ways – The Editor
To update on this comment. He is officially now on the ballot. He was able to raise enough money and is now a candidate.
