Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is scheduled Friday night to deliver brief remarks aboard the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum to conclude the three-day Republican National Committee Winter Meeting.
A general session will be held Friday at the Hotel del Coronado and include elections for Republican National Committee chairman and other officers.
At a dinner Thursday at the Hotel del Coronado, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker delivered the meeting's keynote speech, criticizing former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and contrasting himself with his party's other potential 2016 presidential candidates.
"She lives in Washington. She works in Washington. She came to Washington through this president and his administration," Walker said of Clinton, whom he described as the all-but-certain Democratic presidential nominee, according to the political news website Politico.
"She was in Washington when she was a United States senator. She was in Washington when her husband was president of the United States. You look at everything that people dislike about Washington, and she embodies it."
Walker spent much of the 35-minute speech highlighting his accomplishments as governor, including limiting many collective bargaining rights for most public employees and changing Wisconsin's tax code, according to Politico.
Walker said he had found political success in his state by being a figure of "fresh new ideas," Politico reported.
