The Kane County GOP is hosting Sheriff Mark Lamb as its keynote speaker at the annual Lincoln Dinner at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Lincoln Inn, 1345 S. Batavia Ave., Batavia.

Lamb was sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, from 2017-2024. He is known for his support for President Donald Trump and for advocating a crackdown on illegal immigration and drug smuggling.

Lamb is the author of "American Sheriff: Rules to Live By," "American Sheriff: Traditional Values in a Modern World" and "The Adventures of Seymour Clues and Mr. Mouse" a conservative Christian children's book.

Lamb's insights into the complexities of law enforcement and border security will provide an informative perspective at the dinner, according to the release.

"The Lincoln Dinner has always been a celebration of our shared values and commitment to community," Kane GOP Chairman Andro Lerario said in the release. "Sheriff Lamb brings a wealth of experience and a unique understanding of the challenges we face, making this year's dinner and event you won't want to miss."

Tickets cost $135 a person and are available online at kanegop.org/2025LincolnDinner. 

Lamb joined the Federation for American Immigration Reform in October as its law enforcement advisor, addressing challenges caused by illegal immigration, according to a news release from the organzation.

In July, Kari Lake defeated Lamb in the Arizona GOP primary for U.S. Senate. Lake later lost to Democrat Ruben Gallego.

In addition to his books, other products are available through Lamb's website such as patches for $12, an American Sheriff Challenge Coin for $25 or a limited edition "The American Sheriff" Mark Lamb Bobblehead for $60.
