Rep. Watts to speak at Clermont Co. fund-raiser
The Cincinnati Enquirer
UNION TOWNSHIP — U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts, the fourth-ranking Republican in Congress, will be the featured speaker at a Clermont County Republican Party fund-raiser Oct. 31.
Mr. Watts, the chair of the House Republican Conference, will address a $50-per-person brunch at the Holiday Inn Eastgate at 1 p.m. The event is preceded at 12:30 p.m. by a private reception that costs twice as much and includes a photo opportunity with the congressman.
Mr. Watts, 41, is expected to appear Oct. 30 at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy for a fund-raiser for the private school. He also plans to preach Oct. 31 at First Baptist Church of Amelia, according to Bill Shaperd, a spokesman in Mr. Watts' Washington, D.C., office.
The Cincinnati region is becoming familiar territory for him. In September, he and fellow Republican Congress members Steve Chabot of Cincinnati and Anne Northup of Louisville toured Clifton Primary School.
The message was that money alone is not the answer to what ails Cincinnati's public schools.
The Clermont event is about money — raising it..
Mr. Watts has quickly risen within the GOP for championing such party mainstays as a balanced budget and strong military funding.
Many voters, however, best remember him for championing the University of Oklahoma football team. As quarterback he led the team to consecutive Big Eight titles and a victory in the Orange Bowl.
