Married Duo and Political Foes Headline Wichita Metro Chamber’s Annual Meeting and Community Event

The Ragin’ Cajun Meets the Conservative Voice. Tickets for this event, open to the public, are on sale now.

Wichita, KS – The Chamber’s Annual Meeting and Community Event has featured Rudy Giuliani, it’s featured former President George H. W. Bush—but never before has it sparked a debate like this.

James Carville is a political icon. Mary Matalin is a conservative voice. Matalin assisted the Bush administration. Carville led Clinton’s “War Room” campaign. Their politics collide, but together in Wichita on Dec. 5, red and blue are about to unite.

The Chamber is pleased to present two of the most well-known political strategists, Mary Matalin and James Carville (who are married and reside on different ends of the political spectrum). The Chamber’s Annual Meeting and Community Event is slated for Tuesday, Dec. 5 at Century II Convention Hall. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the program begins at 7:30 p.m.

Mary Matalin was the first to hold the double title of assistant to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney. James Carville was recognized as Campaign Manager of the Year in 1993 for his leadership of former President Bill Clinton’s intense “War Room.”

Loge seating is $50 and Balcony seating is $35. For tickets, call the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce at 265-7771 or visit wichitachamber.org and click on Calendar of Events.
