Former Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice will headline the
National Republican Congressional Committee's annual dinner in March, the group
announced Tuesday.
"Condoleezza Rice's life embodies the
American dream," said Greg Walden, NRCC chairman. "From growing up in
the Jim Crow-era south to traveling the world as the nation's top diplomat, she
is living proof that our country is the land of opportunity. We look forward to
hosting her and working with her to grow that majority in 2014."
According to The Washington Post, she has
slowly taken on a more political role since leaving her posts in George W.
Bush's administration in addition to her teaching position at Stanford University.
The former secretary of state co-hosted fundraising events with GOP
presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012 and gave a well-received speech at
the Republican National Convention the same year.
While the former National Security Adviser
has said she does not plan to run for president in 2016, speculations still
persist.
Rice implied in a statement released by
the NRCC that she plans to help House Republicans with fundraising as they get
ready for the midterm elections in November.
"America is at its best when it is
strong and prosperous both at home and abroad," she said. "That is why
we need a robust Republican majority in the House working each day to promote
peace and economic opportunity for all. I'm proud to join with the NRCC in
promoting these values across the country."
Other NRCC speakers at the March dinner
include Govs. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Nikki
Haley of South Carolina and Chris Christie of New Jersey.
