Officials on Tuesday announced that Pence, the former Indiana governor and congressman, will speak. It is unclear if President Trump will also address the conference that focuses on younger conservatives.
In a tweet, ACU Chairman Matt Schlapp wrote, “Proud to welcome our friend the @vp back to @cpac. 99% ACU lifetime rating.”
The four-day conference kicks off Feb. 22.
Other speakers include:
— Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
— Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
— Radio host Michael Reagan.
