On Tuesday, the American Conservative Union (ACU)announced that Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, one of the leading candidates in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, will be speaking to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) event that will be held in Orlando on Friday, Sept. 23.

As the Republican field continues to emerge, Rick Perry is generating enthusiasm across the country because of his conservative record in the Lone Star State, said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF).

Through an agenda built on tax and spending cuts and pro-growth policies, Governor Perry has made Texas a leader in job creation and economic development while serving as a national voice for preserving states rights. We look forward to hosting him at our first-ever regional CPAC event.

The RPOF will be holding its Presidency 5 event -- which will feature a presidential straw poll -- in Orlando at the same time.
