(Hopewell Township, Pa) The 2024 Republican Committee of Beaver County Lincoln Dinner last night at The Fez was a packed event despite lead speaker Ohio Senator JD Vance not in attendance, due to needing to be in Washington DC last minute to vote on the stopgap spending bill before the looming and pending government shutdown. Senator Vance addressed the crowd via zoom from his car 15 minutes post vote and outside of Washington DC. Many other notable names were also in attendance. The headline topics of the event included Beaver County turning red. Twenty years ago democratic voters outnumbered republicans by more than 40 thousand. In 2016 it was by more than 8 thousand and now there are more than 1000 registered republican voters than democrats. Furthermore, in the 18-24 year old group registered Republican voters in beaver county hold the majority. The RCBC also raised more than 40k last year and opened two new offices the most recent being in Vanport. The Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to former district attorney David J Lozier.
