(Oklahoma City)— Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush confirmed today for the Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC) in Oklahoma City in May.

Governor Bush, one of America's most recognizable Republican leaders, is now the seventh national leader and potential 2016 presidential candidate to confirm for the conference along with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Dr. Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Donald Trump. OKGOP Chairman Dave Weston noted, "Hailing from one of America's most recognizable political families, we welcome Governor Bush to Oklahoma to hear his vision for our nation's future.

Gov. Bush has been the subject of intense media coverage surrounding the coming race for the GOP presidential nomination, and our thousands of attendees look forward to seeing his presence at the SRLC." Jeb Bush’s candidacy gained critical steam last month after former Gov. Mitt Romney announced he would not seek a third Republican nomination for the White House. Since that time, Bush has traveled extensively to the early primary states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina to continue building his campaign operation ahead of an expected formal announcement of his candidacy this spring. Weston continued, "Gov. Bush remains one of the top contenders in the ongoing national polls for the Republican nomination, and this provides a critical platform for him to address southern primary voters across America."

The Southern Republican Leadership Conference will be hosted in Oklahoma City on May 21st - 23rd. The "Energy Capital of America", the event promises to be one of the largest attending political events of the year and will end with a 2016 Presidential Straw Poll. Dozens of invites to governors, congressional leaders and other Republican luminaries have been extended, and additional confirmations are expected in the coming days and weeks.
