Newport City Council Candidate Says He "Will Not Tolerate LGBT Perversion"

NEWPORT, RI—Newport resident C. Andrews Lavarre has announced his intention to run for a citywide seat on the City Council, saying he will fight "this pervasive and erosive culture of political correctness."

In his campaign announcement on Friday, Lavarre said that "LGBT sexual perversion, fornication, predation, violence, globalism, socialism, and all the other leftist elite 'isms' are not the norm and are not acceptable in any civilized society. I shall not tolerate them."

Though the City Council typically focuses on hyperlocal issues, like the city budget, liquor licenses and sidewalk permits, Lavarre said that if elected, he would "ensure at least three voices of seven in favor of Common Sense, Due Process, and the Rule of Law. And I shall apply it at every opportunity.

"At the end of the day there are only two persons whose opinions matter: God, and yourself," he said. "I shall promote that."

Lavarre is the CEO of Privus Technologies in Newport. In 2014, he ran for a citywide council seat and finished with the lowest number of votes, with 1,205. The next highest vote getter, Michael T. Farley, earned 2,707.

During his career, Lavarre has worked as an operations and systems analyst for the U.S. Navy Warfare Development Command, established the Booz Allen Hamilton consulting office in Newport, serving as manager; and he served as a program manager at Raytheon for a "multi-million dollar software and hardware program,"he said in a 2014 campaign statement.

Locally, Lavarre said he is pleased with the pace of progress "repairing our hideous infrastructure problems."

Here's Lavarre's announcement, in full:

I am declaring my candidacy at large for the Newport City Council.

This is a difficult decision. It is a lot of work, there is little remuneration, and we are all very short on time. Meanwhile, many things seem to be going my way since the last election: I am pleased with the City Manager, Kate Leonard, Marco Camacho, and even the Public Works department. They are making progress in repairing our hideous infrastructure problems.

So if it ain't broke, why fix it?

What there is to fix is this pervasive and erosive culture of Political Correctness.

My choice: Meta data—The Bigger Picture: Due Process and the Rule of Law.

Our Nation has devolved from one based on deontological principles: the Ten Commandments, the Magna Carta, the U.S. Constitution, to one based on teleological principles: Follow the money, the end justifies the means, do it because you can.

Obama, Clinton, and Trump personified.

Words on paper such as these fundamental documents are worthless unless enforced: that politically correct devolution is destroying our lives.

Thanks be to God that the United Kingdom, at least England, have formally recognized that.

It is time for the rest of us so to do.

LGBT sexual perversion, fornication, predation, violence, globalism, socialism, and all the other leftist elite "isms" are not the norm and are not acceptable in any civilized society. I shall not tolerate them.

I offer my voice in support of restoring this Nation to common sense—the principles of the Bill of Rights:

+ Mind Your Own Business

+ Keep Your Hands Off My Stuff

If we could all just follow those two simple rules then everybody wins.

My election to Council shall ensure at least three voices of seven in favor of Common Sense, Due Process, and the Rule of Law. And I shall apply it at every opportunity.

At the end of the day there are only two persons whose opinions matter: God, and yourself.

I shall promote that.

Think global. Act local.
