Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum will be the guest of honor at a Republican Party fundraiser in Tuscumbia later this month.
Santorum won the Alabama GOP primary when he sought the presidential nomination in 2012. He has said he is open to another run in 2016.
"We are extremely pleased that Senator Santorum is taking time out of his busy schedule to come to Alabama and we are very excited to be hosting the first ever major events in the northwest part of the state sponsored by the Alabama Republican Party,” Alabama Republican Party Chairman Bill Armistead said in a announcement for the event.
“The Shoals area has been typically considered a Democrat stronghold but we targeted several races last year in Colbert, Lauderdale, Lawrence and Franklin Counties and learned that we can be successful in electing Republicans in every corner of the state," Armistead stated.
The event will be held Sept. 26.
Santorum will attend a private fundraiser followed by a public political rally.
Armistead announced at the party’s summer dinner that several high-profile Republicans will be making trips to Alabama in the coming months.
