Adair GOP holds Lincoln Day Dinner By J. Brandon Thompson Public Relations Officer Adair County Republican PartyThe Adair County Republican Party gathered last Friday night at the Lindsey Wilson College Cranmer Dining Center for their first ever Lincoln Day Dinner. It was a night full of great food, an auction, fellowship among the party faithful, and of course, a lot of politicking. During the meal, the crowd of more than 100 attendees were serenaded by the sounds of the Crossroads Quartet, led by 15th District (Adair, Russell, Casey and Pulaski Counties) Republican State Senator Vernie McGaha who would later address the crowd promising, "a real Republican budget" that the senate is proposing. Sen. McGaha said the Senate budget would do what Governor Beshear and the House Democrats failed to do: cut needless spending on pork projects and reduce the overall expenditures of the state government. "It's a tough budget, but it's a necessary budget for economic times like these," he said. 51st District (Adair and Taylor Counties) State Representative John "Bam" Carney also spoke to the group praising Sen. McGaha for his leadership in the state Senate and echoing his frustration with the willingness of Democrats in Frankfort to add to the state's overall debt. Representative Carney said he welcomed the Senate Republican budget, adding that the House Republicans are ready to challenge the big spending Democrats on their budget proposals. The two major Republican candidates for the United States Senate also spoke to those gathered to lay out their cases for why they deserve the support of Adair County Republicans. After a coin toss to determine speaking order, Dr. Rand Paul, a Bowling Green Ophthalmologist and son of Texas Congressman and former Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul, took to the podium and was followed by Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson. Both men were well received by the crowd and were interrupted several times by applause as they addressed a variety of issues facing America and presented their solutions for the problems. Other honored guests attending the event were field representative for U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, LeAnn Crosby, field representative for Congressman Ed Whitfield (R-Dist. 1), Sandy Simpson, field representative for Congressman Hal Rogers (R-Dist. 5), Chris Girdler, and Pulaski County GOP Chairman Cloyd Bumgartner. Sen. McConnell, Rep. Whitfield, and Rep. Rogers, extended their apologies for missing the event due to the important vote on Health Care Reform. All three men subsequently voted in opposition to the measure. A solid majority of the Republican candidates for local offices were also in attendance and were formally recognized at the event. Overall, the Lincoln Day Dinner was a huge success. The Adair County GOP Executive Committee would like to thank Lindsey Wilson College for the use of their facilities, the elected officials and candidates who attended and spoke, those that donated auction items, and all the members of the local party who supported the event with their hard work, time, finances and attendance. The Adair County Republican Party gathers monthly on the third Monday night of each month at 6pmCT, in the Annex Basement, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY. All registered Republicans are encouraged to attend these important organizational meetings. This story was posted on 2010-03-25 05:50:29
