(Jim Cooney) – If you’re proud to be a conservative, love America, and want to see our country on the right track again, then mark your calendar now: Saturday, April 12, 2025.
That’s when the Elko County Republican Party will host its annual Lincoln Day Dinner — and you won’t want to miss it!
This isn’t just any dinner. It’s a celebration of Abraham Lincoln, our very first Republican President, and everything he stood for: freedom, unity, and opportunity for all.
But it’s also more than a celebration. It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year — and a chance to fuel real conservative change here in Nevada.
Big-Name Guests. Big Ideas.
This year’s event is packed with heavy-hitters. Confirmed to attend are:
- Governor Joe Lombardo
- Congressman Mark Amodei
- Nevada State Controller Andy Matthews
They’ll each share brief but important updates on what’s happening right now — the good changes being made, the battles still ahead, and what we can do together to protect our freedoms and our families.
Other current and former local and state leaders will also be there to share their vision for Nevada’s future.
This is your chance to meet them face-to-face, ask questions, and hear the truth without media spin.
Why This Event Matters
The Lincoln Day Dinner isn’t just a good time — though it will be! It’s also how we raise money to support critical local efforts, including:
- Two scholarships each year for Elko County high school seniors
- Radio ads to spread our message to voters
- Support for Republican candidates in the 2026 midterm elections
If we want to win — and win big — we’ve got to be ready. The Left is already organizing, fundraising, and pushing their agenda. They don’t want events like this one to succeed — because when we come together, we win.
We can’t afford to sit on the sidelines.
What You’ll Get
Let’s talk about what makes this dinner such a great night out:
- Delicious food, catered by local favorite Dreez
- A no-host bar at the 5:30 pm reception
- The chance to talk directly with state leaders
- Fun and excitement at our silent and live auctions
- Auctioneer Sheldon Mudd, back again with his energy and humor
- A room full of people who love America and want to make it better
Whether you’re new to the party or a long-time supporter, this is a perfect way to get involved, make connections, and be part of something bigger than yourself.
