On Friday, February 6, 2026 (snow date: February 7) The Cumberland County Lincoln Club will hold its 140th Annual Lincoln Dinner in Portland, Maine. These dinners are held every year around the country in honor of our 16th President and one of the Republican Party’s great heroes, Abraham Lincoln. Many elected officials have been invited and are expected to attend, including all the Republican candidates running for Governor.
This year’s dinner will be held at the Portland Elks Club located at 1945 Congress Street, across from the airport entrance in Portland. A cocktail hour with a cash bar, multiple appetizers, live music and a silent auction will begin at 5:30 pm. There will be a deluxe style buffet dinner starting at 7:00 pm with salads and desserts. Tickets are $65 per person or $125 for a couple.
Our keynote speaker is award-winning Steven Robinson who is the Editor-in-Chief of the Maine Wire. A native of Dexter and graduate of Bowdoin College, Robinson has previously worked as an Executive Producer for the Howie Carr Show and Barstool Sports’ Kirk Minihane Show. Robinson also produced The Case, Minihane’s cold case podcast investigation into the 1989 disappearance of Jennifer Fay. Our Guest Minister will be Rev. Jeffrey McIlwain, M. Div. (AME Zion) of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
For this special anniversary dinner, we are encouraging Turning Point USA chapter leaders, Bowdoin College conservatives to be in attendance as well as other youth leaders. More details on these opportunities to follow as we get closer to the event.
Be sure to participate in the silent auction during the cocktail hour where local skilled craftsmen will display their artistry and craft, so bring your checkbooks and/or cash to help the Cumberland County Republicans support their candidates to turn Maine RED!
