- Giardino , 8131 Broadway, Lemon Grove, CA, 91945
Meet Lincoln Club-endorsed candidates and connect with members and prospective members at our East County Social.
Politics is better in person.
Join us at Giardino Restaurant for the Lincoln Club East County Social, a relaxed evening bringing together Lincoln Club-endorsed candidates, members, and prospective members from across the region.
This is not a formal candidate forum. It is an opportunity to step away from the podium, meet our endorsed candidates face-to-face, ask questions, and enjoy real conversations about the races and issues shaping East County.
Whether you are a longtime Lincoln Club member or interested in learning more about the organization, come meet the candidates, make new connections, and spend the evening with people invested in the future of our region.
Members and prospective members are welcome. Advance registration is required.
