An Iraq veteran will announce a run for Congress tomorrow.
Will Breazeale, 39, of White Lake, will kick off his campaign for the Republican nomination in the Seventh Congressional District seat now held by Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre.
A major in the Army Reserves, Breazeale recently returned from northern Iraq, where he was helping train Kurdish military members. He works as a pilot with AirTran airlines.
Breazeale (pronounced "Brazil") plans to kick off his campaign by flying a six-seat twin-engine plane from the airport in Elizabethtown, touching down in all 10 counties in the district Thursday.
He plans to attack McIntyre as an ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and campaign against the income tax, said his spokesman, Rob Boyce.
"His stand is that the system is broken and needs to be reformed with something that's fairer and more even-handed and harder to cheat on," Boyce said.
Previously, Breazeale ran for town council in White Lake and school board in Florence, S.C.
