CINCINNATI (AP) - A conservative Minnesota congresswoman who has been an outspoken critic of Democratic health care plans will be the keynote speaker for a Republican dinner in Ohio.
The Hamilton County GOP in Cincinnati says Rep. Michele Bachmann will speak at the annual fundraising event Feb. 26 called the Lincoln-Reagan Dinner.
The county party praised Bachmann in a statement Monday as leading the fight against big government. She organized a protest rally last month against health care legislation.
She'll be the second Minnesota Republican to headline a GOP fundraiser in southwest Ohio in less than a year. Gov. Tim Pawlenty spoke at a party dinner in Mason last July.
