| Gov. Chris Christie |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. TNGOP press release —The
national spotlight will focus on Nashville once more at the end of May
as a major Republican official makes a public visit to the South.
Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney today formally announced New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
will be the keynote speaker for the 2014 Statesmen’s Dinner. Christie
also leads the Republican Governor’s Association - the most innovative
and disciplined political committee in the nation tasked with electing
Republicans to governorships across the country.
The Statesmen’s Dinner is an annual event that is the largest gathering
of Republicans in Tennessee and is the major public fundraising event
for the Tennessee GOP. Additionally, each year the Party selects a
high-profile Tennessean to chair the festivities. The 2014 Statesmen's
Dinner Chairman is U.S. Congressman Marsha Blackburn.
“This year Tennessee will prove, once more, it is a blueprint for Republican success for the rest of the nation,” stated Devaney. “We
are thrilled to have Governor Christie here to highlight that message
because he knows what it takes to win and lead. He’s proven the
Republican Party can win in deep blue areas when we articulate
thoughtful, conservative solutions to the problems voters are facing. In
Tennessee, we’re in the midst of a Republican revolution at the county
and judicial level and we look forward to hearing what lessons we can
take from Governor Christie’s track record of success.
"To help us welcome
Governor Christie and serve as our Statesmen's Dinner Chair is
Congressman Marsha Blackburn. Her well-deserved reputation as a
conservative problem solver and grassroots powerhouse make her a perfect
match for this year's event."
Congressman Blackburn added,
"I welcome any opportunity to showcase the success of our state and the
innovative solutions our Party offers. Governor Christie is a
reformer-in-chief who understands that we must win at the ballot box
first so we can put our principles to work for the people. Outside of
Election Day, this Statesmen's Dinner is going to be the premier
Republican event in 2014."
The 2014 Statesmen’s Dinner will take place Friday, May 30, 2014. For advance tickets, go to TNGOP.org now or contact TNGOP Finance Director Anna McDonald at 615-269-4260.
