SUN Area Council of Republican Women is pleased to announce the keynote speaker for its Legacy of Ronald Reagan Dinner to commemorate the centennial of the President’s birth.

Jeffrey Lord is a former associate political director in the Reagan White House.  A graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, Lord began his political career in Pennsylvania as an aide to Republican leader Drew Lewis.  He served as legislative director for Congressman Bud Shuster; and later as executive assistant for the late U.S. Senator John Heinz. 

Mr. Lord is currently a columnist at The American Spectator.  He is a frequent guest on television and radio, including Fox’s Hannity, the Saturday edition of America’s News Headquarters with Brian Wilson, the Fox Business Channel’s Stuart Varney, and Lou Dobbs.  Mr. Lord’s work has been cited by Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. His most recent book, The Borking Rebellion, is the story of the U.S. Senate judicial confirmation battle of Judge Robert Bork.

The Legacy of Ronald Reagan Dinner will be held on February 5, 2011 at The Watson Inn in Watsontown.  The public is invited to join the celebration.   The event begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $25 per person and are available by reservation through January 20^th.
