Dear Lincoln Club Members:
Upon our return from the Descent on the Capitol, we are pleased to re-cap the recent trip to Washington D.C. Twenty-two members from the Lincoln Club of Northern California traveled on the first-ever three-club trip to the nation’s capital. The combined trip provided us with a unique opportunity to gather elected officials throughout the country, attract top-tier speakers, attend policy briefings at the Heritage Foundation and also participate in “behind the scenes” tours of various attractions.
While a busy trip, some of our guest speakers included:
1. U.S. House Whip Kevin McCarthy
2. U.S. House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan
3. Rep. Bob Turner (NY-09)
4. Rep. Pete Sessions (TX-32)
