"The Republican Party of Iowa is proud to announce Mike Huckabee as the keynote speaker at an event helping us to stand up for life, as it is the very first plank in our state party platform," said Republican Party Chairman A.J. Spiker in a news release. "One of my main areas of focus after being re-elected chairman was to reach out to our grassroots activists and social conservatives across the state. I wanted them to know that as long as I'm blessed with the opportunity to be state chairman, the Republican Party of Iowa will always be committed to defending the sanctity of human life."

The event will be held at Point of Grace Church and will run from 3 to 6 p.m. Additional details are to be announced, however tickets to the "Celebrate Life" event can be reserved for $10 each or $20 per family.

"The Republican Party of Iowa feels it's important to open up our events to everyone, and that includes creating a price point that everyone can afford," said Spiker. "We want everyone, especially young people and families to see a great event at a low cost, and join us for a day dedicated to celebrating the principles of life.
