Herman Cain provided an important voice to this process. His ideas and energy generated tremendous enthusiasm for the conservative movement at a time it was so desperately needed to restore confidence in our country. I wish Herman, his wife Gloria, and his family all the best.

I know from having worked with him for more than a decade he will continue to be a powerful voice in the conservative movement for years to come.
