RNC co-chair Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to Donald Trump, to speak at Alabama GOP dinner
Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump will be the keynote speaker during the Alabama GOP’s annual summer dinner on Friday, Sept. 13.
Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has co-chaired the RNC since March. She is the wife of Trump’s son, Eric, and is a former contributor with Fox News. The Alabama GOP, in its announcement about Lara Trump’s speech on Friday, described her as “instrumental in leading the party’s strategic initiatives and rejuvenating the RNC with fresh energy.”
“We are thrilled to have Lara Trump join us as our keynote speaker,” said John Wahl, chairman of the Alabama Republican Party. “Lara has been doing an amazing job as RNC co-chair, energizing Republican base and championing conservative values across the nation. Her dedication to the principles of freedom, limited government, and family values resonates with the people of Alabama. This event will be an excellent opportunity for our state to hear directly from one of the leading voices in our party as we prepare for critical elections at both the state and national levels.”
The evening will include a reception, dinner, and remarks from special guests. Tickets are available at ALGOP.org. A single ticket costs $250, with a dinner for two at $400.
This is the second year in a row in which a member of the Trump family member delivered the keynote address at the GOP’s summer dinner. Last year, the former president was the keynote speaker during an event that underscored the Alabama Republican Party’s support for his candidacy. Ahead of Trump’s visit, a host of Alabama Republican members of Congress and other state officials including Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth, announced their endorsement of the ex-president.
Trump, during his speech in Montgomery, vowed to support adding six lanes to Interstate 65 if he is elected president. That project has long been championed by Ainsworth.
