Plano Forum to Draw At Least 4 Republican White House Hopefuls
At least four presidential candidates are coming to Texas next month to participate in a forum at one of the state's largest megachurches.
The North Texas Presidential Forum is scheduled for Oct. 18 at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. The event is being hosted by the nearly 40,000-member church and the Faith & Freedom Coalition, an influential group representing religious conservatives across the country.
All of the major Democratic and Republican candidates have been invited to address the forum. On Monday, confirmed speakers included four GOP candidates: retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, former Arkansas Gov. Huckabee and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania.
Tim Head, executive director of the coalition, said Monday that he expects the forum would end up featuring about 10 candidates. The event is already sold out, with more than 7,000 people registered to attend.
