THE LINCOLN CLUB

ofNORTHERN CALIFORNIA

Who We Are

The Club's purpose is to provide a forum for the consideration of important issues and government policies facing the citizens of Northern California, at the local, state, and federal levels.

The Club fulfills its purpose by providing forums for officeholders, candidates, and subject matter experts to address and engage the membership in public policy matters, and by establishing separate political action committees to expressly advocate the election of qualified candidates to local, state, and federal office, and initiatives that align with the Club’s core values

The purpose of the Political Action Committee (PAC) is to support the election of quality Republican and like-minded independent candidates, and to support the passage of initiatives, which align with the Club’s core values.

The Club’s core values are predicated on the belief that our government, at all three levels, serves the public interest best when it focuses on a market-based economy, limited government and fiscal responsibility in its use of taxpayer funds.
