Former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis to Speak with Republican Women of Clifton

He'll talk about how Republicans can recover after the 2012 election cycle.

Former Democratic Congressman Artur Davis (7th-Alabama) will speak on Jan. 23 to the Republican Women of Clifton.

Davis, who changed his party affiliation after a failed run for the Alabama governorship, will talk about the recent presidential and congressional elections and how Republicans will find success the next time around. 

"If today’s generation of Republican centrists are genuinely interested in rebuilding the Republican coalition, it will require the dexterity of motivating the party’s ideological core to embrace a reform agenda, rather than the far less plausible task of rallying the party around a vision that its populist base will vow to defeat," Davis wrote on his website on Jan. 14
