Huckabee to speak in Charlotte

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will speak in Charlotte.

The one-time Republican presidential candidate will hold events to benefit a conservative advocacy group he runs, the Vertical Politics Institute, and his political action committee, Huck PAC.

The first event will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 11, at the Charlotte City Club. The cost for the private roundtable discussion is $500 per person and comes with a photograph with Huckabee.

He'll also be the guest of a private reception immediately afterward.

The cost of that event is $250 per person or $500 per couple.

Huckabee's last major appearance was at a get-out-the-vote rally in Raleigh and Charlotte in October. He was a speaker at last year's state Republican Party convention, where he notably helped save former state Sen. Robert Pittenger from choking.

Correction: The two events were incorrectly described in a previous version of this post.
