Corey Stewart and Denver Riggleman confirmed as Speakers; Ed Gillespie keeps his opponents guessing; Freedom Leadership Conference Straw Poll vote set
The Fairfax Free Citizen (FFC) has joined as a co-sponsor of the “Governor Forum” at the Freedom Leadership Conference this Thursday evening, Feb. 14 from 7 to 9 PM. FFC Editor Tim Hannigan will help introduce the subject of what conservatives look for in a Governor and ask the question “How would you help enact the Trump Agenda as Governor of Virginia” of the two confirmed conference speakers, Corey Stewart and Denver Riggleman.
Frontrunner Ed Gillespie has this event on his schedule for the past week, with his staff telling conference organizers as late as yesterday afternoon that he is still considering whether to attend and speak. The third challenger to the frontrunner, State Senator Frank Wagner, has cited a legislative committee meeting he must attend instead of the conference. (Advance Registration is required for admission, 7 to 9 PM conference for only $5 or dinner 5:30 to 6:30 PM register HERE).
