The Paulding County Republican Party is bringing several prominent politicians to the region to discuss the state of the nation during the Lincoln-Reagan Dinner Banquet.
The dinner will be Sept. 25 at the Paulding County OSU Extension Building at the fairgrounds. Doors will open at 6 p.m. with a dinner by Grant’s Catering beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The program will feature several speakers. The keynote speaker will be Stephen Moore, the co-author of Trumponomics and former advisor to President Donald Trump. Moore’s appearance is sponsored by FreedomWorks. Moore, a conservative economist, will discuss Trump’s “economic populism” approach and how Trump worked in public and private to operate the country during his presidency. Moore will speak at 8 a.m.
There are several other speakers that will take the podium prior to Moore. Several candidates for U.S. Senate including Bernie Moreno, Mike Gibbons, Neil Patel and Mark Pukita will speak, as well as U.S. District 5 Congressman Bob Latta and U.S. District 9 candidate for Congress, J.R. Majewski. John Adams, Ohio Secretary of State candidate, and Ohio Supreme Court Justices Sharon Kennedy and Pat Fischer also will take the stage.
Moreno, Gibbons, Patel and Pukita all are running for the Senate seat to be vacated by Robert Portman. Each candidate will speak on their strengths and what they would like to see happen in the nation.
Moreno, a Cleveland businessman, is running on a platform of job creation, lower taxes and reducing unnecessary regulations. Cleveland businessman and investment banker Gibbons’ platform includes border security, curtailing federal spending, aiding businesses and defending the 2nd Amendment.
Columbus businessman Patel has stated that he is running to ensure all citizens and states are equally represented in Washington. Business owner Pukita is running on an “American First” platform and is a strong supporter of the Constitution, election integrity, border security and term limits.
