News Release
The Adams County Republican Club invites community members, elected officials, and supporters from across the county to attend the 2026 Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner on Thursday, August 20 at the Manchester River Barn in Manchester, Ohio. The evening will begin at 6 p.m.
The annual event is one of Adams County’s premier Republican gatherings, bringing together local and state leaders to celebrate the principles of the Republican Party while discussing the issues shaping Ohio’s future.
This year’s featured speakers include Ohio Auditor of State Keith Faber, candidate for Ohio Attorney General, and State Representative Justin Pizzulli, who represents Ohio’s 90th House District.
Auditor of State Faber has devoted more than two decades to public service, serving in the Ohio House of Representatives, the Ohio Senate, and as the 94th President of the Ohio Senate before being elected Ohio’s 33rd Auditor of State. Throughout his legislative career, Faber championed fiscal responsibility, tax relief, government transparency, and regulatory reform while helping shape Ohio’s state budget and public policy.
As Ohio’s Auditor of State, Faber has focused on protecting taxpayer dollars through performance audits, exposing waste, fraud, and abuse, and increasing accountability at every level of government. During his tenure, the Auditor’s Office has identified billions of dollars in improper unemployment payments and fraud, recovered millions in taxpayer funds through audit findings, and secured numerous criminal convictions involving public corruption. As the Republican nominee for Ohio Attorney General, Faber’s campaign is focused on supporting law enforcement, defending constitutional rights, combating the opioid epidemic and fentanyl trafficking, protecting children and vulnerable Ohioans, fighting human trafficking, strengthening consumer protection, and continuing to hold government accountable.
State Representative Pizzulli is serving his second term representing Ohio’s 90th House District, which includes Adams County. Since taking office, Pizzulli has become a leading advocate for Southern Ohio, championing legislation that strengthens rural communities, promotes economic development, and increases government accountability.
Most recently, Pizzulli helped secure more than $1 million in state capital funding for Adams County, supporting projects at Ellison Landing Park, Sprigg Township Old Bentonville Community Park, the Adams County Fairgrounds, the Adams County Heritage Museum, the West Union bike path, and accessibility improvements for the Adams County Board of Developmental Disabilities. He has also led efforts to strengthen oversight and accountability of residential behavioral health and recovery housing facilities, working with state officials to ensure providers meet higher standards while giving local communities a stronger voice in protecting neighborhoods.
In addition, Pizzulli has advocated for workforce development, infrastructure improvements, tourism, support for veterans, and increased investment throughout Appalachian Ohio. During the Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner, he will provide an update on the work being done in Columbus to strengthen Southern Ohio and discuss legislative priorities affecting Adams County.
“This dinner is an opportunity for Republicans to come together, hear from outstanding conservative leaders, and continue building momentum for the future of our party and our communities,” said Mary Jane Campbell, leader of the Adams County Republican Club. “Whether you’ve been involved for years or are attending for the first time, we invite you to join us for an evening of great food, meaningful conversation, and strong conservative leadership.”
