The nation will soon turn its eyes to South Carolina and Nevada, where the Republican and Democratic parties will hold their third nominating contests, taking another step in their march toward the presidential election this fall.

For Michael Ramirez, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist, it’s like being in a candy store.

Ramirez, who calls himself an “unabashed conservative,” makes his living by commenting on national politics, illustrating and satirizing current events in more than 500 magazines and newspapers, including the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

The cartoonist is the 2016 Hamilton County GOP Lincoln Day speaker and will be talking today at the Chattanooga Convention Center about his book, “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Obamacare,” as well as his philosophy about his work.
