Dr. Ben Carson delivered his keynote address to a packed house at the years Reagan Rockefeller Dinner on Friday. The crowd was eager to listen as he shared his story, and vision for the future of America!

Along with hearing an inspiring speech from Dr. Carson, we were excited to award the 'Hi I'm Frank White' award to Benny Speaks. Here is what Executive Director Seth Mays had to say about Benny.

"Tonight's recipient was born a Conservative Republican following in the political ideals of his Father and Mother. As far back as the 1980's, he became very active in the local political arena recruiting candidates for the Local School Board and Quorum Court. He was an Alternate in 1996 to the Republican National Convention to elect George H.W. Bush and even served on the Electoral College later that same year.

He is best known for his service to his county, Baxter, and to his congressional district, the 1st District.

He served as Second Vice, First Vice, and Chairman of the Baxter County Republican Men's Group. He worked tirelessly flipping Baxter County to become a Republican County. Recruiting good electable candidates and working with them until they were elected. He served for 8 years as the White River Regional Chairman of the First District, over 8 counties.

He served as Chairman of the First District for 8 years. While serving as First District Chairman he was an integral part of electing the first Republican Congressman in the 1st District, Rick Crawford. He put over 25,000 miles on his new Toyota pickup truck to turn the First District Red.

He would travel all over the First District conducting Campaign Training to help get Candidates elected. Not only that, he's done one-on-one Campaign Training in his home.

He was a member of the State Executive Committee for 16 years on many different committees, such as the Rules Committee, Campaign Committee, and the Finance Committee."

Thank you Benny for all of your years of service to the party!

Everything Costs More Thanks To Joe Biden

Biden can try to gaslight the American people about his failed economy, but Bidenomics has made life for working families harder and unaffordable.

What you need to know:

• In Joe Biden’s economy everything costs more.
• April’s Consumer Price Index increased 3.4% compared to last year – twice the rate compared to when Biden took office and higher than expected.
• Inflation has been at or above 3% for 37 straight months, well above the Fed's average target of 2%.
• Core consumer prices – stripping out food and energy rose by 3.6%.
• Since Biden took office prices have risen by 19.9%.
• On year over year basis, inflation under Biden has averaged 5.5% more than double the level of inflation seen under any of the last 4 presidents.
• Groceries are up a whopping 21.3% since Biden took office.
• Families are struggling with persistent inflation.
• Real wages remain lower than when Biden first took office.
• Under Joe Biden, the cost of living is becoming increasingly unaffordable.
• Hardworking Americans are struggling to survive financially as Bidenomics continues to drain the wallets of families and businesses across the country.
• Bidenomics has cost the middle class $2.4 trillion since March 2022.
• Americans have now lost over $4,170 paying higher energy costs since Biden took office.
• The Fed has hiked interest rates 11 times since March 2022 - now at their highest level in 22 years - making it harder   for families to buy a home, finance a car, pay off debt, and perform various other financial transactions.
• Americans are struggling to pay their debts, save for retirement, or afford rent.
• For the lower 80% of American households, liquid assets have dropped below pre-pandemic levels and Americans are quickly depleting any savings accumulated during the pandemic, with only 20% of households above board.
• To make matters worse, more Americans are taking on additional debt just to cover daily expenses, finding their regular income is no longer enough to make ends meet.
• Polling shows that Americans are not happy with Biden’s economy.
• A majority of Americans rate the economy as poor, according to a New York Times poll.
• Only 38% of voters rate the Biden economy as good, compared to 65% under President Trump, according to CBS News.
• More voters currently view Trump as better for the economy than Biden, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
• As working-class families struggle to make ends meet thanks to inflation, voters know Democrats are to blame for rising prices.
• Republican-led states continue to drive job growth.

The bottom line:

Americans know the only way back to economic prosperity is re-electing President Donald J. Trump in November.
