Over the weekend, America’s Mayor – Mayor Rudy Giuliani headlined a fundraiser to celebrate The Conservative Caucus’ 50th anniversary as the sold out crowd packed a ballroom at the Lansdowne Resort – just outside of Washington, DC.
TCC – the leading grassroots conservative network in the country, has accelerated its national fundraising efforts since the Spring and is directing resources into key swing states ahead of the November election. TCC President Jim Pfaff – a Capitol Hill veteran and nationally-recognized grassroots leader, served as the evening’s master of ceremonies. Guest speakers included honorary board chairman Barry Goldwater Jr., board chairman Peter Thomas, the gala’s title sponsor Justin Malkin and the 107th Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani. There was also a special video greeting from actor and singer Pat Boone and retired U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman congratulating The Conservative Caucus for such a historic milestone.
TCC was founded in 1974 by conservative icon Howard Phillips, who passed away in 2013. Phillips’ widow Peggy and their family were in attendance, including their son Doug and his grandsons Josh and Isaac. At the end of the program, TCC President Jim Pfaff and TCC board chairman Peter Thomas presented Peggy with a special award to pay tribute to Howard’s legacy and life’s work on behalf of the conservative movement.
