Carson, Cruz Confirmed for NRB Presidential Candidates Forum
Republican presidential candidates Dr. Ben Carson and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz are confirmed to participate on Friday, February 26, in the Presidential Candidates Forum during Proclaim 16, the NRB International Christian Media Convention.
Taking place in Nashville just days before the “Super Tuesday” primaries in Tennessee and many nearby states, this will be an opportunity not to be missed, said Dr. Jerry Johnson, President & CEO of NRB.
“This is a pivotal year for our nation, and Christian communicators will be well-served to hear firsthand from those candidates who seek to hold the highest office in the United States,” said Dr. Johnson. “The policies and priorities of the next President of the United States will have major ramifications for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, so we must pay attention. Freedom to believe, and freedom to speak on-air and online, hang in the balance in this country and around the world.”
Salem Media Group and NRBTV will broadcast the Presidential Candidates Forum by radio and television nationally as acclaimed radio host and best-selling author Eric Metaxas moderates individual sessions with each presidential candidate who participates. The event will also feature an on-stage panel for each session to ask candidates questions on issues of importance to the evangelical Christian community.
Carson will appear Friday, 1-2 p.m., and Cruz will appear the same day, 2-3 p.m. NRB, a non-partisan, international association of Christian communicators whose member organizations represent millions of listeners, viewers, and readers, invited candidates of both major American political parties to participate. Other candidates may also appear.
Dr. Johnson added, “This event, just days before the March 1 ‘SEC Primary,’ is a must for anyone who wants to get a better idea of where the presidential candidates stand on issues that Christians care about. Don’t miss it!”
Proclaim 16 is taking place February 23-26 in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
