Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush will headline the Tennessee Republican Party’s annual Statesmen’s Dinner in Nashville — the largest annual gathering of Republicans in Tennessee. Governor Bush announced recently he was actively exploring a run for the White House in 2016.
“As an early primary state, Tennessee in an important place in Republican politics," said TNGOP Chairman Chris Devaney. "This is the perfect forum to come and deliver an optimistic, dynamic case for conservatism. We need a bold reformer leading our nation. As Florida’s governor and as a public servant, that’s exactly the reputation Governor Bush has built. We look forward to welcoming Jeb Bush to Nashville.”
Mr. Devaney also announced that Congressman Diane Black (TN-06) will serve as the 2015 Statesmen’s Dinner chair. Rep. Black will play an instrumental role in the dinner, which is the TNGOP’s largest yearly fundraising event.
“Cong. Black is the perfect chair for this important occasion. She has quickly become known as a conservative solutions-seeker both in Washington and here at home," said Mr. Devaney. "In fact, this event will showcase how Tennessee is leading our country with bold ideas, effective leadership, and a conservative philosophy."
Congressman Black stated, “Each year, the Statesmen’s Dinner offers a chance to recognize our dedicated Republican activists here at home and listen to some of the brightest minds in the conservative movement from across the country. I am honored to lead the effort to once again make this Tennessee’s premier political event of the year.”
The 2015 Statesmen’s Dinner will take place on Saturday, May 30, in Nashville. Tickets may be purchased by going to www.statesmensdinner.com or calling Taylor Ferrell at 615.269-4260.
