The Paulding County Republican Lincoln-Reagan banquet took place on Saturday September 24 with candidates speakers of the upcoming election. The evening began with Jerry Zielke introducing Gina Campbell singing the National Anthem and Frank LaRose giving the invocation for the evening, and dinner. This is one of the most important elections of our era with the nation in a very divided state, very poor economy, and skyrocketing inflation in the largest recession in 40 years for the United States.
The messages spoke by the candidates showed the importance of local people to get out and vote to make a difference at the national level.
Officials from around the state brought up how much Ohio has made improvements in the last 10 years with the Republican leadership in the house and senate that the rainy day fund went from near zero to over $2-billion in savings.
John Tamny, author and national speaker, was the orator for the evening. He addressed the issue of economics solving the problems throughout the ages, especially in the United States, and suddenly giving in to fear in 2020 and shutting everything down, which caused the massive financial crisis the country is now dealing with, all while not putting an end COVID-19.
