Tim Pawlenty officially announced today that he will be speaking at the 2010 Southern Republican Leadership Conference in April.

“With Washington encroaching on more of Americans’ freedoms, events like the Southern Republican Leadership Conference are more important than ever. I’m excited to meet with so many grassroots activists and talk about our shared goal of balancing the Federal budget,” Pawlenty said.

“Governor Pawlenty is one of the country’s most innovative and energetic leaders,” said Charlie Davis, SRLC Director. “His successes in Minnesota are a clear sign that competition works.”
