Kevin Neal, Republican Party of Palm Beach County Chairman and Chairman of the Lincoln Day Committee;
“This was a record setting Lincoln Day Dinner and a record setting quarter in terms of fundraising for the Republican Party of Palm Beach County. We raised over $1.1 million dollars, which is the most money in one quarter and the most money at one Lincoln Day Dinner that any County Republican Party has ever raised in Florida. The Grand Ballroom at the Mar-a-Lago Club was sold out with 800 attendees and the line up of speakers consisting of America First elected officials from Florida kept the energy electrified all night. We were excited to see supporters in attendance who have supported our local Party for years as well as many new supporters who we hope will continue to support our local Party in the future. Palm Beach County is turning red faster than many realize and the primary objective for our fundraising at this event is to get Republicans elected in Palm Beach County and that is what we plan to do.”
