Republican Party of Palm Beach County hosts record-setting  Lincoln Day Dinner The Republican Party of Palm Beach County hosted its annual Lincoln Day Dinner at The Mar-a-Lago Club Grand Ballroom in Palm Beach, FL on March 15, 2024. The event set records for both attendance and fundraising: Sold out with 800 attendees and over one million dollars raised. Republican Party of Palm Beach County Chairman Kevin Neal, who was also Chairman of the Lincoln Day Committee, organized this year’s event and led a team of motivated Republican Executive Committee (REC) members to achieve unrivaled results. The line-up of Speakers included Keynote Speaker President Donald Trump, Senator Rick Scott, a video from Senator Marco Rubio, Congressman Matt Gaetz, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, Congresswoman Kat Cammack, City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Republican Party of Florida Chairman Evan Power, Republican Party of Palm Beach County Chairman Kevin Neal, Master of Ceremonies Kevin Sorbo, and Miss Florida Juliette Valle who performed the National Anthem. Chairman Kevin Neal presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to President Donald J Trump and the Statesman of the Year Award to Congressman Matt Gaetz. The Jean Pipes Outstanding Republican Award for selfless service and the perfect spirit of volunteerism which is voted on by REC membership and is the highest honor bestowed upon one committeeman and one committeewoman annually was awarded to Election Operations Co-Chair Michelle Russo and Republican Party of Palm Beach County Chairman Kevin Neal. The line-up of speakers consisting of America First elected officials from Florida kept the energy electrified all night culminating with a rousing speech by Congressman Matt Gaetz who stated “The Palm Beach County Republican Party has done a terrific job and you have terrific leaders who have ensured that we are well positioned for success going forward and I want to thank them. This is the most remarkable Lincoln Day Dinner I have ever been to and a lot of you deserve a great deal of credit for that.” President Donald J Trump had the whole crowd on their feet and delivered a fantastic keynote speech which closed out an evening that attendees will not soon forget. Palm Beach County Republican Party Municipal Election Results 2024 MUNI 2024 REPUBLICAN & INCUMBENT WINNERS WITH 3 RUNOFF RACES ON APRIL 2** CANDIDATE Tom Carney Michael Brown [I] Peggy Wheeler [I] Mimi May Phillis Maniglia [I] Anita Kane [I] Orlando Puyol Geoff Pugh [I] David Hutchins [I] Ainar Aijala [I] Bridget Moran Rick Sartory [I] Michael Napoleone [I] RUN-OFFS:  Sara Perez [I]** Amanda Silvestri** Maria Antuna**  MUNICIPALITY Delray Beach Mayor Hypoluxo Mayor Juno Beach Mayor Lake Worth Loxahatchee 1 Loxahatchee 3 North Palm Beach 3 Ocean Ridge Ocean Ridge Ocean Ridge Palm Beach Town Council Tequesta 5 Wellington Mayor  Pahokee Commissioner Wellington 1 Wellington 4 The Palm Beach County Municipals had amazing Republican Election Results in 2024 with a 56% win overall (13 races / 23 races) AND 2 Wellington run-off races and a run-off in Pahokee that are expected to win (see below). There were 20 Republican races Unopposed, 30 Republican Candidates and 26 Republican races in the running which surpassed previous Palm Beach County Municipal race records. More impressively, Republican voters flipped 3 seats: Bridget Moran, Palm Beach Town Council, Mimi May, Lake Worth Town Council, and most excitingly, in a town comprised of 40% Democrats with a long-standing Democrat stronghold, Tom Carney became the new Mayor of Delray Beach. This is emblematic of the tide turning in the country, and with Palm Beach County leading Florida with the highest Election Day voter turnout in the state, we expect the momentum to continue and the tide to turn even further. TWO RUN-OFF RACES IN WELLINGTON AND ONE IN PAHOKEE! APRIL 2 The Election Operations Committee, working tirelessly since last August for the Republican candidates and their campaigns, anticipates decisive wins for our strong run-off races in Wellington on April 2nd: Amanda Silvestri, Seat 1 and Maria Antuna, Seat 4; and Sara Perez, Pahokee Comm. “We are intent on pushing them over the finish line. We encourage REC committee members and the citizens of Palm Beach County to come out and support Amanda and Maria in their run-offs. And as always, with all our elections, our Election Integrity team is very involved with SOE oversight and continues to act as our watchdogs in safeguarding our elections. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to witness this exciting time.” – Ashlyn Held, Candidate Recruitment Chairman JOIN THE REC!

Applications available here: PBC REC FLORIDA TOPS ALL STATES FOR REPUBLICAN VOTER REGISTRATION The state of Florida now has more registered Republican voters than any state in the country, with 5,141,848 registered voters! Republicans have 854,318 more registered voters than Democrats in the state of Florida. The widest margin ever! While we have been adding thousands of Republican voters to the voter rolls, Democrats have been losing voters. This is the largest advantage Republicans have ever had in Florida and if the totals keep trending like they have been, the difference could be over 1 million voters by the 2024 elections, which would be huge. We need to keep registering more Republican voters in Palm Beach County. Please encourage your friends and neighbors especially new neighbors who may have moved in from out of state to register to vote and to register as Republicans. Here is the link to register to vote on the Palm Beach County SOE website: [link removed] Kevin Neal Chairman Palm Beach County Republican Executive Committee PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDORSES EARLY VOTING AND VOTE-BY-MAIL President Trump recently came out in support of Vote-by-Mail and Early In-Person Voting in states that allow it (Like Florida). This comes as Governor Ron DeSantis has also come out in support of Early Voting and won the Early Vote in 2022 (Vote-by-Mail + Early Voting). REQUEST YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT The FloridaGOP is asking you to request your Vote-by-Mail Ballot to ensure that you have a ballot automatically sent to you, which helps remind you of upcoming elections. After you receive your vote-by-mail ballot, you still have three options: 1. Fill it out and return it by mail (all counties allow you to track your ballot, just like Fedex) 2. Fill it out and drop it off at an Elections Office or Early Voting Location in your county. 3. Voting in person is recommended. As long as your vote-by-mail ballot has not been received by the SOE, your in-person vote will automatically cancel your vote-by-mail ballot. You do not have to bring it with you, but if you do, make sure the poll worker marks "Void" across it to make sure it can't be used by anyone else. If you are a Republican in Florida (Yes, even you Election Day-only voters) I am asking you to contact your County's Election Office RIGHT NOW to request your ballot over the phone. Here’s the link to request a Vote-By-Mail ballot in Palm Beach County: [link removed] VOTE-BY-MAIL JOIN THE PALM BEACH COUNTY REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Please contact: Katina Maxwell [email protected] Note: The Republican Party of Palm Beach County posts notices from all Republican candidates as requested.
