Escalation: Kamala Harris reenters spotlight at Fisher Dinner
Former Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver the keynote at the Fisher Shackelford Dinner in Little Rock on April 25. It will be her first keynote speech since leaving office. The event is set for the Wally Allen Ballroom at the Little Rock Convention Center.
Tickets sold out within hours of the announcement. Her Arkansas stop is part of a Southern book tour with additional events planned in North Carolina and South Carolina.
State Republicans tried to tie the visit to U.S. Senate candidate Hallie Shoffner. The Republican Party of Arkansas and Senate Republicans’ campaign group said she coordinated the trip, which she denied while saying she will skip the dinner to campaign.
The dinner honors Lottie Shackelford and Jimmie Lou Fisher and recognizes women leaders in Arkansas.
