The Florida GOP says its RPOF Statesman Dinner, with keynote by former Vice President Dick Cheney, is now sold out. The November 12th event is at capacity with more than 950 tickets sold.

The dinner takes place the night before the Sunshine Summit in Orlando, billed as a two-day event bringing together presidential candidates along with Florida’s state and federal elected officials in the country’s most important swing state to address voters, grassroots leaders, community volunteers, and GOP supporters across the state.

The Summit will welcome 12 of the 13 presidential candidates on the Republican side, along with U.S. Senate candidates and Florida elected officials.

“This is an exciting time as Republicans across Florida come together for our Party’s Annual Statesman dinner,” the RPOF said in a prepared statement.

“The road to the White House goes through Florida, and our grassroots leaders and volunteers are ready to continue building the resources and grassroots organization needed to make 2016 successful for Republicans.”
