Keynote Speaker Riley Gaines
A 12-time All-American swimmer with 5 SEC titles, she was a successful female swimmer from the University of Kentucky with ambitions to pursue a dental degree. That post-graduate ambition changed when she was forced to share a locker room and then compete against biological male Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship. This moment became her call to action to defend and protect America’s daughters against the woke left and their gender-denying ideology. Men should not take opportunities for success in sports away from women. Men should not share locker rooms with women.
Riley has since become a powerful advocate for conservative causes, including the sanctity of life and the protection of the most vulnerable, especially women. As a conservative activist, she fights to ensure that the most vulnerable, especially women, are defended and that women’s rights and spaces are preserved. She is committed to preserving fairness and equality for women in all areas of life.
Emcee Roy Helu, Jr.
We are excited to share Roy Helu, Jr. will return as our emcee. Ray is a former All Big 12 running back from Nebraska who played in the NFL for six years. He is now the lead pastor at Citylight Church in Bennington
