“In 1984, my first vote ever was for Ronald Reagan, a true statesman. It’s hard to believe that on Sunday it will have been 100 years since the birth of President Reagan. As Republicans, we value the conservative principles that Ronald Reagan upheld. As Americans, we cherish the steadfast leadership that President Reagan exuded during tough times, reminding us that some of our biggest obstacles can be overcome, but not by government, rather, by giving individuals the incentive to reach their highest potential.”
