Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will be making a special trip to Alabama in March at the Alabama Republican Party Winter Dinner.

“Governor DeSantis needs no introduction, and I am thrilled to welcome one of America’s strongest Republican leaders to the State of Alabama,” said ALGOP Chairman John Wahl. “This is an amazing opportunity for our state, as well as the Alabama Republican Party.”

The dinner will be March 9 in the Birmingham Sheraton Ballroom.

“The Governor is well known for his common sense conservative values, and defending the people of Florida from government overreach,” said Wahl. “Under his leadership Florida’s economy is soaring. He has a consistent record of cutting wasteful spending and achieving record budget surpluses, and won re-election by over 1.5 million votes, the largest raw vote margin for a gubernatorial candidate in Florida history. We are looking forward to hosting him here in the Yellowhammer state.”

According to the press release, tickets are $250 per person, or $400 per couple, and can be purchased on the ALGOP website: www.algop.org.
