Steve Beren is a speaker, writer, blogger, pro-liberty conservative, and Tea Party activist. Based in Seattle, Beren was the Republican candidate for Congress against far left Democrat incumbent Jim McDermott in 2006 and 2008. In 2010, he was the campaign manager for the Art Coday for U.S. Senate campaign.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Beren was a Vietnam antiwar activist and socialist, but since then he has become a patriot, a Christian, and a Republican. Beren supports our troops and our mission in the U.S.-led war against Islamic fascist terrorism. Beren has special insight into the motivations of progressives, liberals, and Democrats, and the fallacies of their arguments.
Beren is a powerful speaker and gifted debater, and has appeared at meetings, conferences, rallies, panel discussions, debates, and on talk shows.
After the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01, Beren felt he had a responsibility to do what he could (as a private citizen activist) to help win the war against terrorism. In particular, he seeks to bring his message to young people, challenging the leftist political domination of our nation's campuses.
A native of New York City, Beren moved to Seattle in 1987. As a former antiwar activist, Beren has a unique perspective on the activities of today's radicals, socialists, and far left extremists. A former Democrat, Beren came to realize that the Democrats were weak on national security, and considers himself a "9/11 Republican," a pro-liberty conservative, and an advocate of "five star conservatism." Beren is an internet marketing publicist and consultant. He and his wife live in Seattle, where they are members of Christian Faith Center.
