The Duval County Republican Party said that the Lincoln Day event on Nov. 9 was an “unparalleled success.” The annual fundraiser was themed, “An Evening with Governor Mitt Romney, Honoring Tom Petway.” Duval GOP leaders said the event ”topped all previous such events in Northeast Florida.” Days before Romney’s visit, GOP leaders had to expand the event space to accommodate demand for tickets.
