DULUTH, Ga., June 4, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Faith & Freedom Coalition announced today that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will address this year's "Road to Majority" Policy Conference on Friday, June 20 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC.

"We're delighted to have Governor Christie join an already impressive list of distinguished guests and speakers who will address the Road to Majority conference," said Ralph Reed, chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition. "This will likely be the largest single gathering of social conservative activists in the country this year, and it offers Governor Christie and the other speakers to share their message about the future direction of the country."

The conference is a yearly gathering to lay the groundwork for pro-life, pro-family policy gains in the next Congress and the various state legislatures. An estimated 1,500 to 2,000 attendees will participate.

"Exit polls in 2012 made clear evangelicals are the single largest constituency in the Republican presidential primaries," observed Reed. "Governor Christie's participation at this year's conference, along with so many other potential 2016 presidential aspirants, demonstrates the faith-based vote will likely remain pivotal and impossible to ignore."

Other potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates addressing the Road to Victory Policy Conference include, in order of appearance, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio, Rep. Paul Ryan, Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Rick Santorum, former Gov. Mike Huckabee, and Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Individuals can register for the Road to Majority Conference, June 19 - June 21 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC at www.roadtomajority.com.
