Eric Cantor & Mitch McConnell to Address CPAC

Today the American Conservative Union announced that House Majority Leader & Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell will be addressing the 40th Annual Conservative Political Action Conference being held March 14th-16th at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor. From the ACU:

“We are delighted that thousands of conservatives from across the country will have the opportunity to hear directly from the Republican floor leaders of the House and Senate at the very time crucial decisions on spending, the debt and the budget are being made in Congress,” said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. “Especially on this day of the President Obama’s State of the Union Address, we are reminded that Leader Cantor and Leader McConnell are important checks and balances against the President’s liberal policies and runaway spending.”

Previously announced confirmed featured speakers include: U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, former U.S. Representative Artur Davis, former Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuño, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, U.S. Senator Mike Lee, U.S. Senator Rand Paul, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, U.S. Representative Paul Ryan, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey, former U.S. Representative Allen West, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and U.S. Senator Ron Johnson.

Adding these two speakers only serves to make an already great event even better. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there!
