Cam Ward and Jackie Curtiss for their hard work in helping to craft this document and taking with them to Tampa the resolutions our Alabama Republican State Executive Committee passed for tax relief, pro-life, and job creation policies.”
Alabama Republican Party Chairman Bill Armistead said that the Alabama Republican Party delegates, “Had the privilege of having Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker speak to our delegation at breakfast this morning and we visited again on the floor of the Convention this evening. Gov. Walker is a real patriot and always wants what is best for Wisconsin and our country. He is and will continue to be a major player for the future of our country. Wisconsin is producing some outstanding leaders as in Gov. Walker, Congressman Paul Ryan and GOP National Chairman Reince Priebus. Thank God for Wisconsin.
