About the lecture
Congressman Cantor-a dynamic, important young leader within the Republican Party-will address the problems and challenges our country faces, and deliver the case for how the new Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives plans to tackle those challenges. Rep. Cantor will argue that America needs a leaner, smarter and more efficient government that produces results by promoting a culture of opportunity, responsibility and success. His speech will detail the Republican legislative strategy of cutting spending and needless regulation, and growing jobs and the economy. In addition, Rep. Cantor will touch on how his party intends to deal with President Obama-areas where they will work with him, and areas where they will provide a check and balance on his policies.
