Trump endorses Central Texas Republican Congressional candidate

Texas - On Wednesday, President Donald Trump endorsed three Texas candidates, one of them running for the 11th Congressional district in Central Texas. 

In a flurry of tweets, Trump endorsed multiple candidates across the U.S. including Texas Republican August Pfluger. 

In the tweet, Trump noted Pfluger's past military service, calling him a "Great Veteran and Strong Leader," as well stating that Pfluger "supports our #MAGA [Make America Great Again] & #KAG [Keep America Great] Agendas." 

Pfluger's political website mentions that he was a member of Trump's National Security Council staff. 

The 11th Congressional district covers parts of Central and West Texas. 

Pfluger will be running against a list of other Republicans as well as members from the Democratic, Independent and Libertarian parties. The current representative, Republican Mike Conway, announced his retirement in 2019. 

Trump also endorsed two other Texas Republicans, Wesley Hunt in Houston and Beth Van Duyne in Irving, both of which will be running for Congress in March.
