Texas Sen. Cruz Confirms GOP Conference in Oklahoma City

Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is the latest 2016 presidential hopeful to confirm that he'll attend at the upcoming Southern Republican Leadership Conference in Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma Republican Party officials confirmed Friday that Cruz will be among dozens of high-profile Republicans who plan to attend the event. Others include potential 2016 presidential candidates like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, and real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump.

The three-day event will be held at the Cox Convention Center at the end of May and is hosted by the Oklahoma Republican Party.

It will end with a presidential straw poll.
