REPUBLICAN WOMEN OF PRESCOTT PRESIDENT, SHERRIE HANNA, RELEASED A STATEMENT LAST EVENING REGARDING THE DRAG TEAM EVENT THAT WAS TO BE HELD AT EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY.

THE PRESS RELEASE READS: “A MONTH AGO IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT ERAU (PRESCOTT CAMPUS) WAS SCHEDULED TO HOST A PROFESSIONAL MEN'S DRAG TEAM EVENT ON SATURDAY, APRIL 22ND. IT WAS ANNOUNCED AT OUR APRIL 4TH LUNCHEON THAT THIS EVENT WAS TAKING PLACE AND OUR MEMBERS WERE ASKED TO WRITE TO THE CHANCELLOR AND DEAN OF STUDENTS AT THE COLLEGE TO VOICE THEIR DISAPPROVAL OF THIS EVENT AND REQUEST THAT THE EVENT BE CANCELED. DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE FROM NOT ONLY OUR MEMBERS, RWOP'S EXECUTIVE BOARD, PRESCOTT CIVIC LEADERS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, THE EVENT AT EMBRY-RIDDLE HAS BEEN CANCELED! I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN CONTACTING THE ERAU LEADERSHIP AND ALL WHO PRAYED FOR THIS OUTCOME.”
