For the third consecutive day, the Republican National Committee has released a list of officials who will be speaking at the Republican National Convention in Tampa later this month.
The latest list isn't as filled with GOP heavyweights as the previous two, but does include an official that the Florida Republican Party believes is one of its ascending stars, Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Also included in this latest wave is a man not too many people outside of Texas knew about until his victory in the GOP Senate primary last week — Ted Cruz.
If victorious in November, Cruz would join another 41-year-old Cuban-American in the Republican Senate Caucus, Marco Rubio. His name has not been released yet in conjunction with the RNC, but another Hispanic was named last night, Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno, the first Republican elected governor of the island since 1969.
Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker round out the list.
