Michael Reagan, the oldest son of President Reagan, will come to Twin Falls next year.

Reagan will speak at the Twin Falls Republican Central Committee’s Lincoln Day Celebration on Feb. 19 at Canyon Crest Dining and Event Center.

Besides being the son of a president, Reagan is known for his nationally syndicated radio program, “The Michael Reagan Show.”

Reagan’s broadcasting career began as guest host on Michael Jackson’s program on a Los Angeles radio station before he became host of a local radio show in San Diego. His career as a national radio talk show host began in 1992.

“We’re just wanting to recharge our party and get back to some of our conservative roots and values,” said Mya Goodman, chair of the event. “His father was a very conservative Republican and had great values. We can’t begin to say how excited we are.”

Prior to his foray into radio, Reagan was involved in powerboat racing and raised more than $1.5 million for charities that include the United States Olympic Team, Cystic Fibrosis and Juvenile Diabetes foundations and the Statue of Liberty Restoration Fund.

Tickets are $75 apiece and will go on sale in late December. Corporate contributions for reserved tables are also an option.

Though the committee’s a political organization, Goodman stressed that attendees don’t have to be Republican to get a ticket.

“We’re not keeping anybody out,” she said. “We want people to be able to hear this wonderful man speak.”

Reagan has authored books that include his autobiography, “On the Outside Looking In,” and “The Common Sense of An Uncommon Man: The Wit, Wisdom and Eternal Optimism of Ronald Reagan.”

Reagan and his wife, Colleen, live in Sherman Oaks, Calif., with their two children.
