University of Virginia alum and syndicated talk show host, Laura Ingraham, returns to the commonwealth along with former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele to headline the speakers this year at the Republican Party of Virginia Advance (to be held at the Homestead Dec. 11-13). Former UN Ambassador John Bolton is also speaking Friday evening at the welcome reception at 7 pm.
Ingraham, who ventured into Virginia politics by strongly supporting Rep. Dave Brat’s primary challenge to then-Majority Leader Eric Cantor, is heard in 225 radio markets across the country and is considered the leading female voice in conservative talk radio. She’s speaking at the RPV Advance National Strategy Lunch at 12:30 PM on Saturday December 12.
Steele, the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, will be making his remarks as the special guest for the RPV Advance Gala at 7:00 PM, also on Saturday.
