Admiral Allen Zeman?

At a recent forum in Fort Lauderdale, Broward School Board candidate Allen Zeman told the audience he was “promoted to the admiral rank faster than anybody in the history of the Navy.” Just one problem. Allen Zeman is not a member of the U.S. Navy. So why did Zeman (aka “The Z-Man”) leave the impression he is an admiral?

According to the Zeman campaign website, “While not deployed, he was selected to Senior Executive status at age 32 (equivalent to Navy admiral), led the Training and Education system and served on the DoD School Board.” Senior executives are not Admirals or flag officers in the Navy. References to rank or admiral status are not found in Zeman’s numerous professional bios found online.

We asked Zeman to clarify his mention of Naval rank as well as the claim to receiving the fastest promotion in the history of the Navy.

Zeman did not respond to our request for comment.

“While not deployed, [Zeman] was selected to Senior Executive status at age 32 (equivalent to Navy admiral), led the Training and Education system and served on the DoD School Board.”

Mysterious PAC Formed By Allen Zeman Campaign Treasurer Using Supreme Court Justice, Obama & MLK To Fool Broward Voters

A mysterious Federal political action committee is using images of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, former President Barack Obama and even Martin Luther King, Jr. to fool Broward voters. Federal records show Yolanda Brown created The Black Vote Broward May 18, 2022. Brown is the campaign treasurer for Broward School Board candidate Allen Zeman.

Last month, REDBROWARD revealed Yolanda Brown created the Keep Students First political committee on May 27, 2022. Brown is listed as the chairperson and treasurer of Keep Students First.

Allen Zeman is the CEO and founder of The Center For Human Capital Innovation. On May 31, 2022, the Center For Human Capital Innovation gave $35,000 to the four day old Keep Students First political committee.

To date, The Black Vote Broward reports a single contribution—$100 from Yolanda Brown.

Despite the lack of contributions, The Black Vote Broward was able to produce a palm card endorsing Federal, State and local candidates. The palm card was spotted at early voting locations across Broward.

The card is similar to previous race-based cards produced by Dale Holness’ campaign guru Omar Smith, who plead guilty to a Federal fraud charge in July.

In September 2020, REDBROWARD exposed the ties between Holness and the People Of Principle PAC. The group promoted black candidates with a “your vote your voice” mailer touting Holness, Congressman Alcee Hastings and other black candidates. Even though the mailer states “#BlackVotesMatter” and “#BlackExcellence,” the piece includes several white candidates such as Judge Frank Ledee, Judge Patti Englander Henning and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.

Like the People of Principle card, The Black Vote Broward card endorsed white candidates over their black opponents. The group endorsed State Senator Lauren Book over Barbara Sharief. The group shunned two black candidates to endorse Broward School Board Candidate Allen Zeman.
