In 2023, Vivek Ramaswamy entered the Republican presidential primaries, positioning himself as a nationalist and critic of progressive ideologies. Although he suspended his campaign after the Iowa caucus, he endorsed Donald Trump and briefly served as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during Trump's second term.

In February 2025, Ramaswamy announced his candidacy for the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial race. His platform emphasizes transforming Ohio into a "State of Excellence" by promoting school choice, implementing merit-based teacher pay, introducing a civics test for high school graduation, and investing in industries like semiconductors, nuclear energy, biotech, and Bitcoin. 

Limited VIP opportunities are available for those wanting to meet with Vivek exclusively - email hannah@lincolnclub.org for more information. 

Dinner will be served.

We will be joined by acclaimed film producer and bestselling author Mark Joseph. Mark Joseph has played a pivotal role in producing more than 75 films, including No Safe Spaces (2019), Chronicles of Narnia (2005), Ray (2004), and most recently REAGAN (2024). His latest book MAKING REAGAN, offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the decade-long journey to bring REAGAN to the screen, from the early script writing to the casting of Dennis Quaid in the titular role. Mr. Joseph will share the troubles he has faced in the entertainment industry as a Conservative, including being banned from advertising the film on social media.

We will be hosting a watch party for the film REAGAN after Mr. Joseph shares his story about the making of the film. If you have never seen the movie, you are missing out! Now is the chance to witness the incredible life of President Reagan like never before.

Please join us for a co-hosted alumni reunion with the Orange County Young Republicans! Hors d'oeuvres, beverages, and a cigar smoking section will be provided. This mixer is open to all members!

Born in North Korea under the oppressive Kim regime, Yeonmi Park fled the DPRK at the age of 13 by crossing the Yalu River into China. While in China, she and her mother were abused and exploited by human traffickers until they were able to escape into South Korea two years later.

She later came to the United States to study at Columbia University, where she wrote her memoir In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom. Park has been a vocal advocate for the North Korean people, fighting to share her story of oppression, exploitation, and ultimately, freedom. Despite being called a “poisonous mushroom” and a “human rights propaganda puppet” by the North Korean government, Yeonmi has never wavered in her resolve to share the truth of the totalitarian regime. Join us as she shares her harrowing journey from North Korea to the American Dream.

Dinner will be served.
