OCEAN SHORES – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker won the straw poll as the preferred candidate among Republicans at the annual Roanoke Conference at Ocean Shores over the weekend. Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was the runner-up, while Mitt Romney and Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana tied for third place.
The conference wrapped up after a weekend of panels, networking events and a banquet that featured nationally syndicated radio host Michael Medved.
“2015 was another fantastic year for the Roanoke Conference in Ocean Shores,” said Lisa Shin, President of the Roanoke Board. “Every January we’re pleased by the attendance at our event and by what happens when our elected leaders, prominent political thinkers, and grassroots activists come together under a big tent to exchange ideas, share laughs and create relationships that energize so many important causes.”
At Saturday’s dinner program, the Roanoke Board awarded Washington’s Secretary of State Kim Wyman with its “Rising Star Award.” Wyman is the second woman Secretary of State in Washington’s history and the only statewide elected Republican official on the West Coast.
This year’s agenda featured panels on a variety of topics and issues debates on common core education standards and a proposal to increase tax on gasoline.
