Statement on the 2011 Black Tie and Blue Jeans Change of Speakers

What Is It?

The Ronald Reagan Black Tie and Blue Jeans BBQ is an annual event put on by the Alachua County Republican Party.  This year marks the 9th Edition of this great event, that is becoming legendary in Florida.

It isn't really a "Black Tie" event.  Black Tie and Blue Jeans is really just a way of saying, "wear your good pair of blue jeans."

In 2011, our guest speaker is a wonderful Republican, former Republican Majority Leader in the Florida House of Representatives, and challenger to replace Bill Nelson in the United States Senate in 2012, our friend Adam Hasner.

Adam Hasner is lifelong Republican deeply committed to limited government, free markets, American values and a strong national defense.

Adam was first elected in 2002 to serve as a part-time state legislator representing Palm Beach and Broward Counties. Serving alongside Marco Rubio in the Florida House for six years, in 2007, Adam was selected by then-Speaker Rubio to serve as Majority Leader for the Republican caucus, a position he held for four years until being term limited from office in 2010.

In 2009, Adam fought against the impacts of the federal stimulus and successfully rejected nearly $500 million in unemployment funds that would have resulted in a tax increase for Florida businesses.

In 2010, well before the issue became part of national headlines, Adam led the House Republicans in demanding the United States Congress pass a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and then served as the founding national Co-Chairman of the citizen action group, Pass The Balanced Budget Amendment.
