Jun19, 2022

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement celebrating Juneteenth: 

“Juneteenth is an important part of the history of our country and the Republican Party. When word of President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation got to Galveston, Texas, freedom finally became a reality for the remaining enslaved Americans. This holiday reminds us all how valuable freedom is and that we should continue to pursue policies that promote opportunity and prosperity for everyone.”
