Jenna Ellis to Headline 2026 Lincoln Day Gala

The Spokane County Republican Party is honored to announce Jenna Ellis, former attorney for President Trump and host of Jenna Ellis in the Morning on the American Family Radio Network as our 2026 Lincoln Day keynote speaker. 

Jenna attended Cedarville University, where she earned a B.A., followed by a Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado Law School. Her early interest in law began at age 14, influenced by her father's political involvement. She was raised in an environment that prioritized biblical principles, which later informed her work with organizations like the James Dobson Family Institute, focused on promoting marriage, family, and child development. 

Jenna is a pro-life champion who starts and finishes her daily program with a message to support Preborn’s mission, “To Glorify Jesus Christ by Leading and Equipping Pregnancy Clinics to Save More Babies and Souls,” one ultrasound at a time.

In an era where the future of our nation, community and culture hangs in the balance, Jenna has stood and continues to stand as a fearless advocate for truth, dignity, and principled leadership.

Jenna’s unwavering commitment to justice and liberty echoes the timeless wisdom of leaders past; the courage to stand alone, the strength to make hard decisions, and the compassion to serve others. As Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Jenna Ellis embodies this “measure.”

In a time of unprecedented political turmoil, Jenna Ellis stood tall for justice, truth, and the Constitution. As President Trump’s attorney following the contested 2020 Presidential Election, she demonstrated unwavering courage and conviction—defending the integrity of our electoral system and the foundational principles of our Constitutional Republic.

While many remained silent or retreated under pressure, Jenna chose the harder path: to speak boldly, act fearlessly, and uphold the rule of law. Her resolve in the face of media hostility, professional risk, and personal sacrifice is a testament to the kind of moral courage our country and community so desperately needs.

Jenna’s keynote will be more than a speech—it will be a rallying cry and a call to conscience. A challenge to rise, speak, and peacefully act to preserve what we hold most dear—Faith, Family and Freedom.

Please join us in welcoming Jenna for what promises to be an inspiring and unforgettable evening.

Coach Joe Kennedy Joins the Lincoln Day Lineup

The Spokane County Republican Party is honored to announce Joe Kennedy will join us as a Featured Speaker at Lincoln Day 2026.

He was just an “average” high school football coach in a small Washington town—until he dropped to one knee after a game for 30 seconds of silent prayer. That single act of faith and gratitude, which many of us believe was God’s Divine Plan, cost Coach Joe Kennedy his job and then launched one of the biggest religious-liberty victories in decades.

From a challenging childhood in foster homes and sleeping in broken-into cars, to 20 years honorably serving our country as a United States Marine, Joe never knew God.  

An atheist until becoming a Christian in his 30s, through the influence and prayers of his wife Denise Joe made a covenant with God:  “Give me my wife and family, and I’ll give You everything.” That promise changed not only his life, but all of ours as well.

For eight years following each game, Coach Kennedy jogged unnoticed to midfield, took a knee and gave thanks. Then one admiring phone call from another school to deliver a compliment  detonated into a national firestorm. 

The school district demanded he pray in secret—or not at all. Coach Joe refused, was fired, vilified, and dragged through seven years of court battles. Finally, he stood before the Supreme Court and won a 6–3 decision, restoring the right of every American to live their faith publicly.

Coach Joe’s Faith, Family, and Freedom journey is amazingly captured in the Movie Average Joe (released October 2024) and now in his inspirational book Average Joe—One Man’s Faith and the Fight to Change a Nation by Joe Kennedy with Stephanie Katz.

Please join us in welcoming Coach Joe Kennedy at the March 21, 2026 Lincoln Day Gala at The Davenport Grand Ballroom for what promises to be an inspiring and unforgettable evening. 

2026 Lincoln Day Theme

Our Founders gave us more than a Constitution—they gave us a compass.

That compass points toward faith, family, and freedom—not as abstract ideals, but as actionable frameworks.

We are the architects of tomorrow. Let us build with virtue as our blueprint.
