FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - The Allen County Republican Party (ACGOP) announces a special guest for their annual Lincoln Day Dinner in the spring.

Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey and regular panelist on ABC’s “This Week,” will headline the event. ACGOP Chair Steve Shine indicated that Christie’s message “will no doubt resonate within the community and help elect Republican candidates to office.”
