WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus issued the following statement today celebrating the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth:
“Today we honor the 100th birthday of one of our nation’s greatest presidents, Ronald Reagan. Even before he assumed the presidency more than thirty years ago, Reagan established himself as a staunch defender of our core conservative principles – limited government, a thriving free market economy, and a strong national defense. As President, he led us to a peaceful victory in the Cold War and gave a nation reason to believe in itself again. With his strong leadership, graceful humility and sharp wit, he inspired millions and paved the way for the next generation of conservatives.
“As our nation confronts some of its largest challenges since President Reagan left office, we are right to pause and remember his wisdom, eloquence, and unparalleled optimism. His memory reminds us of the promise America carries for each of its citizens and the responsibility we shoulder to defend it so that for generations to come it may remain that ‘shining city upon a hill.’”
