A history-making woman leader, GOP kingmaker and beloved “Mama Grizzly,” Governor Sarah Palin’s maverick personality, spot-on political instincts and deep connection with “the silent majority” of American voters have made her one of the most influential women in conservative politics. As one of the earliest endorsers of President Trump, Governor Palin injected vital support and game-changing momentum at a critical juncture in the battle for the Republican nomination.
Today, Governor Palin continues to fight for the millions of Americans that are often overlooked by Washington and the mainstream media. As an unforgettable keynote speaker, she shares her own life journey of overcoming challenges by putting family first and finding strength in her deep Christian faith. Drawing full houses and standing-room-only crowds, Sarah Palin calls upon all Americans—of all political persuasions and beliefs—to get motivated, get involved and join together to build a brighter future.

Known for her meteoric rise from first female (and youngest) Governor of Alaska to first woman on the GOP presidential ticket, Governor Palin has captured hearts and minds around the world with her outspoken honesty, fearless principles and passionate personality. Recognized as one of TIME’s “100 Most Influential People” and Forbes’ 100 Most Powerful Women,” Governor Palin is also one of only 21 women on Smithsonian’s “100 Most Significant Americans of All Time” list. In election after election, her endorsement and the support of her political action committee, SarahPAC, are considered the gold standard for conservative candidates. A devoted mother and grandmother, Governor Palin has shared her family’s personal experiences raising a Down syndrome child and having a son deployed overseas to advocate for children with special needs, military families and those who serve. Governor Palin is the author of four books. Her memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life and inspirational book, America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag were immediate bestsellers. Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas called for bringing back the freedom to express the Christian values of the season. Her most recent book, Sweet Freedom: A Devotional applies biblical principles to contemporary issues. An avid sportswoman, known as “First Lady of the Outdoors,” Governor Palin hosted Amazing America with Sarah Palin on the Sportsman Channel and starred in Sarah Palin’s Alaska on TLC. She was also a Fox News political commentator. Governor Palin’s long record of achievement in public office includes two terms as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, two terms on the Wasilla City Council and Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, where she shaped energy policy. While mayor of Wasilla, she was elected President of Alaska’s Conference of Mayors. Governor Palin graduated from the School of Journalism at the University of Idaho and worked as a sportscaster in Anchorage before entering public service.

Speaking from the heart and the heartland, Sarah Palin’s rousing, refreshingly candid keynotes are filled with the homespun stories of everyday Americans, history-making political players and the challenges that she has faced as a leader, mother, wife, public servant and political candidate. With honesty, humor and her signature zingers, Governor Palin celebrates traditional, small town conservative values that are grounded in faith, family and patriotism. Audiences leave motivated, informed, entertained and uplifted by one of the most notable American women of our time.

Marsha Blackburn was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018, and is currently serving her first term representing the state of Tennessee. Before her election to the Senate, Marsha represented Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District.
Marsha’s public service is dedicated to promoting opportunities for women and making America a more prosperous place to live. Marsha’s leadership philosophy is based on her experiences in the private sector as a small business woman and author, as well as being a mother and grandmother.
Marsha went to college on a 4-H scholarship and worked her way through school selling books for the Southwestern Company as one of their first female sales associates, and later as one of their first female sales managers. She then became Director of Retail Fashion and Special Events for the Castner Knott Company, which was a Nashville-based regional department store. Later, Marsha founded her own business, Marketing Strategies, which focused on the retail marketplace, as well as electronic and print media.
Marsha began her career in public service in 1995 when she was named executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment, and Music Commission. In 1998, she was elected to the Tennessee State Senate. In the state legislature, she earned a reputation for fiscal responsibility and government accountability by identifying waste and offering realistic solutions to Tennessee’s budget challenges.
While serving in the Tennessee Senate, Marsha led a statewide grassroots campaign to defeat a proposed state income tax. The tax was defeated, and Marsha’s leadership earned her a reputation as an anti-tax champion. In 2014, the people of Tennessee passed an amendment to the state constitution to expressly prohibit a state income tax – a fitting cap to a 14-year battle.
In 2002, Marsha was elected to represent the people of Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District based on her record in the state legislature. She brought her Tennessee values to Washington, DC, and became a leader in the fight for small, efficient federal government that is accountable to its citizens. As a Congressman, Marsha was often selected by her colleagues to lead the charge for principled conservativism. Her congressional career was also noted for her Chairmanship of the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, as well as bipartisan expertise in defending songwriters’ and performers’ rights.
Marsha is a member of numerous charitable organizations and is an active member of her church, Christ Presbyterian.
Marsha and her husband Chuck live in Williamson County, Tennessee. They have two children, Mary Morgan (Paul) Ketchel and Chad (Hillary) Blackburn, and two grandsons. Originally from Laurel, Mississippi, Marsha is a graduate of Mississippi State University.

At 24-years-old, Tomi Lahren is the youngest political talk show host in history. She ignited a
firestorm with her “Red, White, Blue and Unfiltered Final Thoughts” following the Chattanooga
terrorist attack that killed three Marines and one Sailor.
Controversy is her specialty. She is best known for her signature “Final Thoughts” on everything
from Beyoncé to President Obama and Hillary Clinton. She has exceeded 550 million views in
the last year, alone. Lahren was previously the host of One America News Network’s “On Point
with Tomi Lahren.” She created, wrote and designed the show from scratch.
Lahren's sassy sense of humor was showcased at the 2015 Conservative Political Action
Conference (CPAC). She destroyed the Republican stereotype of old, rich, white men. Her
Hillary Clinton pantsuit joke won over the CPAC crowd and ruffled a few feathers on the left.
Lahren was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota. Her parents, both from ranching
backgrounds, taught her the value of hard work. Her love of political discussion comes from
family table debates centered on the nightly news.
Not one to play it safe, Lahren moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to attend college at the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas. She studied broadcast journalism and political science. She also
produced and hosted a political roundtable show The Scramble for UNLV-TV.
Two months before college graduation, Lahren contacted One America News Network for an
internship opportunity. After just one interview with network owner, Robert Herring, she was
offered her own political talk show. On Point with Tomi Lahren was born.
Lahren is not one to pull any punches. Immigration, national security and race relations are her
hot buttons. As a proud South Dakotan, she holds on to her Second Amendment rights, as well.
Truth is, we all want what's best for this country, some just need to be reminded. That's Tomi's
job.
