Former U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin is slated to speak to the Saline County Republican committee at an annual gathering of the local GOP members.

Griffin is one of several names floating around as a possible opponent to two-term incumbent Sen. Blanche Lincoln in her 2010 re-election campaign. He announced his consideration of the running against Lincoln in December, but has yet to announce his candidacy.

Last week in an interview with the Arkansas News Bureau, Griffin said that whomever the candidate may be, he believes they must announce before June 1.

The Saline County GOP will host their annual Lincoln Day Dinner Friday, April 24th at the Bauxite Community Center at 7:00 p.m., with a reception in Bryant at Luigi’s Pizza at 5:30. Reps. Ann Clemmer, R-Benton, and Dan Greenberg, R-Little Rock, will host the dinner and reception respectively.
