Host of the "Jenna Ellis in the Morning" Podcast

Tune in Daily on American Family Radio

The Spokane County Republican Party is honored to announce Jenna Ellis—former senior attorney for President Trump and host of Jenna Ellis in the Morning on American Family Radio—as our 2026 Lincoln Day keynote speaker. Jenna holds degrees from Cedarville University and the University of Colorado Law School, and her work in law and public policy has been shaped by deep biblical convictions. A bold pro-life advocate, she regularly champions Preborn’s mission “to glorify Jesus Christ by leading and equipping pregnancy clinics to save more babies and souls.” In the aftermath of the contested 2020 presidential election, Jenna stood for justice, truth, and the Constitution with remarkable courage. Her keynote will call us to rise, speak, and peacefully act to protect what we hold most dear: faith, family, and freedom.

Coach Joe Kennedy Joins the Lincoln Day Lineup

The Spokane County Republican Party is honored to announce Coach Joe Kennedy as our Featured Speaker at Lincoln Day 2026. Once an “average” high school football coach in a small Washington town, Joe drew national attention when he knelt for a postgame prayer—an act of faith that cost him his job and sparked a landmark religious-liberty case. After the school district ordered him to stop or pray in secret, he refused, was fired, and endured seven years of legal battles that culminated in a 6–3 U.S. Supreme Court victory reaffirming the right of every American to live their faith publicly. His story is shared in the film Average Joe and in his book Average Joe—One Man’s Faith and the Fight to Change a Nation.
